Berlin Fashion Week is back; Berliners as well as out-of-towners are going the extra mile to look good in the notorious districts. We got lucky with this weeks warm temperature, though sometimes the clouds start to look ominous, making it perfect to join all of the upcoming fun events. Catwalks reveal next season’s trends while events prove that BBQs have replaced cocktail receptions; like at last night’s courtyard event by Haeberlein & Maurer and the I Love You Magazine party. We would like to apologize in advance that we inevitably had to keep this week’s newletter shorter than normal, as we are both involved with Fashion Week. We’ve picked up some cool events from the endless options you have this week. Next Cee Cee will go back to normal with a nice article covering something from West Berlin. Enjoy the weather while it lasts people!
