Berlin – a follower of fashion or the new fashion mecca?
During Berlin's annual Fashion Weeks the city proves that it can hold its own among the international fashion metropolises, as well as build on its own roots. It was in Berlin that off-the-rack clothing was invented at the end of the 19th century. Indeed, Berlin has much more to offer than Paris, Milan or London.

Berlin techno culture was born with the fall of the Wall. Immediately after November 9, 1989, reunification took place in empty cellars where teenagers from the West and the East confronted one another in a flush of strobe lights and electronic rhythms. 20 years later Berlin has become the world capital of club culture.
