There are not many reasons to visit the Berlin Fashion Week, but I can offer the Berliners amongst you at least one: Tonight the movie “Comrade Coture – Ein Traum in Erdbeerfolie” is going to be screened at the so-called “Kino Showroom Meile”. The film is a documentray about a a group of  independent fashion designers from East Berlin and premiered last year at the Berlinale. It takes place in the eighties, a time when you hat to be pretty inventive if you wanted to come up with your own fashion creations – a lot of materials weren’t available in the GDR and by the leaders of the state fashion was seen as part of the loathsome individualism of the western societies. The movie is shown at 8.30 pm at the FC Magnet Club in Mitte, after the screening two of the designers are going to talk about the movie. (Thanks, Warbear)
