    An arbiter of fashion cool, Berliner Klamotten gives dozens of local designers a platform for their latest collections by opening temporary showrooms. The latest incarnation has been in business since April 2007 and features 39 designers. Alas, there's no telling how long they'll actually be here this time.

  5. Sommerladen

    Versace makes you swoon? Marc Jacobs gets your heart pumping? Can't live without Prada, Cacharel or Margiela? Johanna Mattner specialises in these and many other fashionista favourites, all gently 'preworn' and at discounts as steep as the Matterhorn.

  6. Thatchers

    Veterans of the Berlin designer scene, Ralf Hensellek and Thomas Mrozek specialise in making professional women look good in clothing that's feminine but not fussy, sexy but not vulgar, and always well-tailored. Their smart dresses, skirts and shirts go easily from office to dinner to nightclub, but they won't go out of fashion by the next season.
