It’s that time again! Berlin Fashion Week AW23 (16.01.-21.01.2023) is just around the corner, and a total of 18 fashion labels will be showcasing their designs all over the city. And in addition to runway shows by already-established names, such as Bobkova, SF1OG, and Kilian Kerner, there will be an exciting mix of newcomers, veterans, and emerging talents. The focus of this fashion week is clearly on sustainability, the future, and diversity. The Berlin Metaverse, an online space, offers the opportunity to explore the styles of Fashion Week, along with NFT galleries, digital fashion, and much more. With daily new content and live streams of some shows, you can keep up to date even from home. Once again this year, 202030 – The Berlin Fashion Summit (Jan. 18 & 19, 2023) invites attendees to participate in various panels and presentations and to connect with like-minded people at a workshop the day after, for example. In addition to 202030, the 20th anniversary of the Premium Group will take place at Messe Berlin. It will include Premium‘s Trade Show for advanced Contemporary Fashion and Seek‘s stage, where brands and designers with a focus on sustainability come together. Be sure to catch the highlights of Berlin Fashion Week, the Berlin Salon, which since 2015 has spotlighted an exclusive selection of innovative and inspiring talents from the German design and fashion industry. This year’s participants include the sustainable fashion label Avenir and the German-Japanese brand Susumu Ai.

Are you interested in the creative process of design? Then the event “Diverse it! – A Trialogue of Fashion” is right up your alley. Within the framework of Berlin Contemporary, five young up-and-coming talents will create and present fresh looks at Platte.Berlin (17.01.-21.01.) in collaboration with five other designers. But it’s not only the official Fashion Week events that are worth popping by. Catch cool pop-ups like the one by Wardrobe Affair (16.-21.01.) on Ku’damm, where you can put together your dream outfit for Fashion Week – and rent it, too. You can find the official calendar and all other details here. More information will also be available on our social media channels on Instagram and TikTok during Fashion Week.

LITERARY REVIEWS & CLAIRVOYANCE  WITH WOW: THE NEW YEAR’S CASINO — RECOMMENDED BY GLORIA REMÉNYI

LITERARY REVIEWS & CLAIRVOYANCE  WITH WOW: THE NEW YEAR’S CASINO — RECOMMENDED BY GLORIA REMÉNYI

A new calendar year also marks a new year in literature. For many culture enthusiasts, this is a time for looking back and looking forward: What were the literary highlights of 2022? What highlights await us in 2023? If you’re still floating between the two years, you shouldn’t miss “The New Year’s Casino with Inokai & Sielmann” at the Literarisches Colloquium Berlin. Next Tuesday (Jan. 17, 2023), author Yael Inokai and cultural journalist Lara Sielmann invite you to a unique evening in which they will dive once again into the flood of titles from the past year and speculate on what the new literary year will bring. The curators have combed through the publishers’ previews and are ready to put their clairvoyant literary intuition to the test. They also promise nothing less than to revive the spirits of late LCB authors.

The eclectic event takes place within the framework of the “Stoffe” series of events. Inokai and Sielmann have recruited numerous protagonists from the literary scene who will transform the Gründerzeit Villa on Wannsee into a veritable kaleidoscope of voices, themes, and perspectives. Slata Roschal will immerse the audience once again in her debut novel “153 Forms of Non-Being,” nominated for the German Book Prize in 2022. Author Raphaëlle Red, literary critic Miriam Zeh, and poet Felix Schiller debate what constitutes “good literature”. The anthology “Gedichte aus Guantánamo” (Poems from Guantánamo) is the focus of a discussion between editor Sebastian Köthe and translator Sandra Hetzl, while authors Biba Nass and Caca Savic devote themselves entirely to prophecies: What will the new literary year come to bring?

Gloria Reményi is a freelance journalist who covers cultural and social topics for German and Italian media. She loves languages, small cinemas, and “commuting” between her adopted home of Berlin and her place of origin in northern Italy.

HIGH-END COFFEE FOR THE NEW YEAR: AUGUST 63

HIGH-END COFFEE FOR THE NEW YEAR: AUGUST 63

What could be better than the intoxicating aroma of freshly brewed coffee on a rainy January afternoon? With the arrival of August 63 in Mitte, you can savor Berlin’s finest coffee and bring home the highest quality roasts. From the tangy-sweet Costa Rican filter “Los Cipresses” to the nutty-chocolatey espresso “Communidade Serra Nova” from Brazil, the roastery offers a selection of seven sophisticated specialty coffees. But it doesn’t stop with the fantastic flavors of the beans, all lovingly roasted in Berlin; the producers are hand selected with care. Managing Director Ken Braz emphasizes sustainable trade and absolute transparency of origin. Their online store explains each product individually and provides insight into its sourcing and production as well as the specifics of its region of origin. It is precisely this dedication that ensures their beans’ quality and the fact that all their coffees have been awarded high cupping scores – the rating system of the Specialty Coffee Association. Our show stopper was The Ethiopian “Dikitu Lot#1”, which will catapult you into seventh heaven with its floral aromas and subtle raspberry notes. Not convinced yet? You can sample the entire range at ice cream shop Spoonful’s coffee pop-up at Auguststraße 63 in Mitte until the end of February.

WHERE THREADS COME TOGETHER: SEWING SESSIONS WITH STEPHANIE IMBEAU AT THE BÄRENZWINGER

WHERE THREADS COME TOGETHER: SEWING SESSIONS WITH STEPHANIE IMBEAU AT THE BÄRENZWINGER

The artist Stephanie Imbeau seeks to understand how people build connections, find refuge, and form networks. She investigates these connections as an artist in residence at Bärenzwinger. Every Thursday afternoon during her residency, she invites visitors to open Sewing Sessions: together, they will work on a single piece of art that will adorn the exhibition space like a second skin. It will be attached to scaffolding designed by Imbeau, which is part of the parallel exhibition “Roaming Winters.” In the show, she and fellow artist and resident Sujatro Ghosh aim to render communities and collective efforts visible in performance-based installations. While her current sewing project is about collaborative design and experimenting with fabric, smaller pieces will also be created in the process. “I hope that these times can be both productive and cozy,” says Stephanie Imbeau, “at least in the way of sewing circles, offering a time to work with others, while sharing stories, ideas, and presence. Anyone and everyone are welcome at her sessions – anyone who wishes is welcome to bring their own sewing machine; for everyone else, Imbeau keeps a needle and thread handy.

WORKSHOPS, SOURDOUGH, COMMUNITY: KEIT TAKES LOCAL TO A NEW LEVEL

WORKSHOPS, SOURDOUGH, COMMUNITY: KEIT TAKES LOCAL TO A NEW LEVEL

When you think “locally sourced” how far do you think? How about within 100km? That’s the distance that Kolja Orzeszko and Thanos Petalotis decided on when they founded Keit. What started as a market stall and small bakery in Schöneberg is now also an iconic wheat-filled space in Friedrichshain. A neighborhood bakery through and through , they source all their products from 100km of Berlin City. So what does 100km really look like for sourcing ingredients? The fully organic and locally-sourced approach makes sustainability one of the key values of Keit. Within the challenging distance of 100km, they’ve managed to source, not just wheat (the main of three farms they use is Ökohof Kuhhorst, located in Havelland) but even the most challenging ingredient of salt. They work with farmers to support the local ecosystem, supporting them through trial and error to achieve the best seeds and grains they can. The result is a truly non-homogenous Berlin loaf – a taste you can only get here.

On the menu are five loaves, including rye or wheat sourdough, two baguettes, and four brötchen, alongside other seasonal products. The space resembles a wheat field – stems of dried crops stand upright in the chic store on Boxhagener Platz. Also running workshops in German and English, hosted by a Keit baker. We attended one and enjoyed the intimate nature of the workshop, sent home with full stomachs, rising dough, a sourdough starter kit, and the knowledge of how to continue our bread-making passion. If you aren’t in the area you can buy one of their sourdough starter kits to make at home, or try out their loaves at one of the places they supply to: Oh, Panama, Klinke, or Kioski.
