July 9

when i was last in berlin, i met up with lisa for a visit to désirée‘s showroom no. 4, followed by a quick lunch by the water (spargelcremesuppe!) and a stroll around the market. the showroom space was rather small but i absolutely loved the way it was laid out, meticulously and thoughtfully, creating a story behind each designer’s set of works. désirée chatted with us for quite a while and i learned a lot from her, about everything from education to independent labels to the nitty gritty details of life in berlin.
