This week the news have finally leaked - (capsule) tradeshow will come for the first time to Berlin this summer. After having started in New York, capsule now runs shows also in Las Vegas and Paris. Berlin was a logical next step, as the German capital has built a strong fashion market over the years with industry heavy weights such as Bread & Butter already being there. It will be interesting to see what brands the show attracts. capsule Berlin will be on July 7th and 8th at Alte Munze.

Full capsule dates for all cities this summer, follow after the jump.

Tonight the new VOO Concept Store opened its doors with a bang in the Berlin Kreuzberg neighborhood. While most shopping destinations are located in the Mitte district, VOO is making a bold move by opening a massive 300 square meter retail space in Kreuzberg, an area that established itself in the food and nightlife areas, but not yet for retail. In a typical Berlin environment the store is located in a backyard of popular Oranienstrasse. Raw concrete walls, a supersized table, concrete counters, a stage and a wooden hut make up the store. This is exactly what you would wish for in this area of town and the line-up of brands only complements the interior. Represented in the store are Pendleton, Stine Goya, Wood Wood, Henrik Vibskov, Soulland, Cheap Monday and many others. We like the wide range of brands and also pricing, making the store a destination for everybody.

In the future you can not only look out for more brands to enter the space, but also for art exhibitions and other events to take place. Make sure to check it out on your next Berlin trip. Even if it might seem a little out of the way, we can assure you that it is all worth it!

This past weekend we witnessed the official opening of the MADE creative space in Berlin. MADE is a new space that offers creative minds the space and vision to fulfill their creative dreams. Artists, musicians or any other creative person can apply to MADE, work in the space, exhibit in the space and host events in the space. The premise is complete freedom.

For the opening MADE has commissioned Yoske Nishiumi and Alex Flach. Yoske you should know from his Koi Club event series and Asics collaborations. Alex Flach is the photo editor of Lodown magazine and he has also released the book “Berlin Calling” a couple of years ago. Together they present the project “Snowglobe”. Each artist created a glass bubble, one inspired by Yoske’s home town of Tokyo, the other one by Alex’s home town of Berlin. The detail in their work really impressed us and everybody else attending. The most special thing about their work, is probably the interaction with the viewer, as you can enter the bubble to experience the art all around you.

Take a look at the video here below, that gives you some more background information on the two artists and their Snowglobe Project.

Many more images from the revealing last weekend at MADE follow after the jump.

Today we passed by the Parra exhibition at Pool Gallery in Berlin. For almost 4 months Parra has been preparing for the show, creating lots of new original pieces. Highlights in the show mark his new black/white series of prints, which come in editions of only 9 pieces. Our personal favorite is his new mid-size sculpture, which comes in his signature colors and in an edition of 20. Otherwise the exhibition showcases many outstanding paintings by the Dutch artist. We can only recommend a visit.

From August 29th Wood Wood Berlin will also be hosting a Parra pop-up store, where you will be able to purchase a special t-shirt that was released only for this event, along with lots of other Parra items.

In case you cannot make it out to the exhibition, go after the jump for a detailed look at all artworks on display.

Just this morning we gave you a look at the Plus 41 "Roger Federer" installation at the Nike 0808 store in Berlin. For the occasion there was also a follow-up eventafterwards. In a small round of 20 people, Nike invited for dinner at the Shiro iShiro in Berlin, a great Asian fusion restaurant inside the Lux 11 hotel.

For the after party Nike invited together with LiveDemo DJ AM to perform. The event took place on a Tuesday night, and the 200 + people that attended (including us) had a great time for sure. DJ AM did a great job choosing the right mood for the evening. A good sign for a great party is always when it is supposed to stop at 1am and ends up going on until 3am.

After the jump we give you a small recap of the party.

This week we intended the opening of the Roger Federer Installation at the Nike 0808 Store in Berlin. Graphic design agency Plus 41 created the installation, celebrating both the Olympic Games and also the birthday of the tennis superstar. The event was hosted by Nike and Artschoolvets.

Essentially Plus41 created a series of logos, each standing for a moment in the career of Roger Federer. A little while ago we presented you the flywire windrunnerand longsleeve that came featuring the very same artwork.

Just like a timeline, the logos guide you through the career of Federer, making it an interesting installation for sure. Should you be in Berlin any time soon, make sure to check it out.

More images follow after the jump.

The buzz around Nike Sportswear does not seem to stop any time soon. This past Friday the Berlin 080808 store also opened its doors in the heart of Berlin Mitte. Across the street from Nort Berlin (on Muenzstrasse in the backyard is the entrance), you find the new Nike Sportswear pop-up store, which strikes with great interior design and of course special products, most of which we have presented in the last couple of months. The location is split into a store area and a gallery area. Last but not least you find Nike iD stations to design your own shoes, as well.
The opening last Friday was a great success, with lots of people rolling through. Have a look at the new store and make sure to visit on your next Berlin trip.
More pictures to follow after the jump.

When we presented you yesterday the letters I to P of the Adidas aZX project, you might have realized that unlike in the first group there were only six shoes, instead of eight, and that in fact two letters were missing in the presentation – the I and the O. Well, those we will present you exclusively here, starting with the I, which stands for the Adidas I-Stores.
Taking the ZX 700 silhouette and reworking the upper slickly, the I-Store version takes the letter ‘I’ and mixes bold colours with muted shades and premium leather applications to give it a completely different look that amplifies the original design’s high points with fresh details like the orange ghilly fastening and ribbed panel on the forefoot. A dose of green makes for a striking look, while the suede tongue detailing and simple but effective split heel panel application, decorated with 6 (London) and 74 (Berlin) to represent the selected adidas store locations completes a memorable makeover.
This shoe will only be available at the Adidas Icon stores in London and Berlin, also called No. 6 and No. 74.

Last week saw the opening of the new 14 oz. store in Berlin. Right in the heart ofBerlin Mitte, close to other favorites of ours such as A.P.C., Nort and Firmament, the new store opened. 
14 oz. already existed in Cologne from 1999-2003 and then the founder moved on to start the Bread & Butter tradeshow. Now he has decided to re-open it, but in Berlin. 14 oz. as you might have guessed by the name already, specializes in denim and carries brands such as Earnest Sewn, Atelier LaDurance, Levi’s, Wrangler and many others. They also carry other great brands including Dunderdon and Steven Alan.
Bottom line, it is definitely worth a visit on your next Berlin trip.
