Twin events on the eve of Berlin fashion week riffed on fashion and art’s increasingly fruitful relationship. The stately Unter den Linden Strasse featured a chic vernissage garden party for Friday 13th’s “Into the Woods” group show. “Art serves as an intellectual base camp and archive of forms and ideas for fashion,” exclaims the exhibition text by former Qvest magazine editor Joachim Bessing. Over at ProjektGalerie, meanwhile, a scrappy and sassy showing of Japanese photographer Fumi Nagasaka’s film and stills of a male model in sordid cinematic scenes drew the fashion crowd’s more downtown faction. And who should we spot there but Iekeliene Stange, in Berlin to walk in Hugo Boss’ show today. Of where she chose to spend her single night in the city, she said, “Where else should one be in Berlin, rather than at an art opening?”
