Berlin Fashion Week

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

A chance to visit one of Europe's most stylish cities, a whole section of fashion week dedicated to international eco-fashion, a city break to break up the long dull month of January? Yes please! Berlin fashion week, I was there like a shot to seek out some great new brands for {Think} Boutique!


With a choice of destinations to seek out gorgeous ethical fashion from all over Europe we started with the Green Showroom. Set inside the stunning Aldon Hotel right on Berlin's main avenue Under den Linden it was fun seeing inside some of the hotels gorgeous executive rooms and viewing gorgeous ethical fashion laid out on beds, hanging in wardrobes and even on top of the bath!

Accessories displayed on top of baths and beds!

Next stop on the ethical fashion trail was thekey.to. This well established ethical fashion event embraced ethical in every aspect of its being from the recycled Christmas trees that lined the entrance hall and restaurant to the recycling workshops and dedicated hybrid shuttle service to the city centre. Plus of course another great selection of ethical fashion.

We did take time after all the fashion to take in some of Berlin's cultural sights too and of course to enjoy the city's buzzing shops and nightlife.

TV Tower, the best way to find your bearings in Berlin - just look for the tower!

Before we knew it was was time to go and we left Berlin feeling inspired by such a stylish city and with some great new brands for {Think} Boutique!

Until next time.....

Love {Think} xx
