Summer is always the best season to ride around with your bike.

Stay healthy and in perfect shape - just two reasons to take a ride. Roman is riding on a daily basis on his 26” triathlon machine while i’m thinking about getting me one more comfortable steel horse - maybe the one Agyness has?

No matter what - we agree with whowhatweardaily and call bikes the must-have accessory of the season! If you wanna find out more about why bikes are so en vogue at the moment, read their article by clicking on the name of their website.

The greatest import from Australia - Team Plastique - made it to the cover of Siegessäule.

If you haven’t seen a Team Plastique show in Berlin you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The crazy aussies are the must see music act if you happen to be in Berlin. While we are waiting for their next record after their amazing debut T.I.T.S we are very happy to see them now on the cover of the biggest Berlin queer magazine Siegessäule.

In the past you were only able to buy their crazy, sexy, cool t-shirts with a glimpse of Berlin online or on the flea market in Friedrichshein.

Now the YACKFOU party people are opening their first offline store.

Opening is on the 5th of July at 11am. T-Shirts go for half of the regular price on that day, which means close to zero euros…

Stop by and have a drink and of course take home some of their real Berlin fashion. Location: Gabriel-Max-Str. 21 - Berlin/Friedrichshain

Last night the 46664 concert took place in London’s Hyde Park to honour Nelson Mandela.

The famous Nobel Prize keeper and south african politician will celebrate his 90th birthday in three weeks. Last night numerous music acts celebrated the 20th anniversary of the “Free Nelson Mandela” concert.

Amy Winehouse was the one to do the most fabulous performance with her songs Rehab and Valerie. At the end of the concert she sang “Free Nelson Mandela” togehter with all the other artists of the night.

It was an amazing return of the greatest singer of the last years, of the style icon and the poor girl who struggles in her fight against drugs.

After seeing her last night it looks as if she’s back and we are hoping that she’ll stay for good!

Fashionweekdaily just announced the release of the new single by Agyness Deyn.

Though we love Chic Report a lot i must say that their admiration for Agyness Deyn (which we love too) lead them into some wrong direction.

The song used in the video ad for the new fragrance by Jean Paul Gaultier is by Miss Kittin. It’s called 3eme Sexe from her album I Com, which was released in 2004 on Astralwerks.

Check out the JPG ad in the video including Agyness as “the model” and Miss Kittin as “the musician and singer”.

Soon we’ll have some big events back here in Berlin - one of them is Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin.

On tuesday Will Smith and Charlize Theron visited Berlin for the german premiere of their latest Sony Pictures movie Hancock.

During all the interviews one reporter introduced Will to the music of the most famous german band Modern Talking.

If you know their music this little video will make you RTFLMAO which was Roman’s reaction while being on the scene for Berlinista.

Check out the whole report including pictures and 4 minutes of video impressions from the premiere right here. The complete video can be seen as well over at BERLINISTA.tv.

With the next Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin coming up in a month from now we are currently doing some cleaning up.

In July we’ll again be at the main spots of Berlin Fashion Week. About a year ago we were already there reporting, taking pictures, networking and stuff.

Besides of all those activities we even took some small amount of video to capture some of the atmosphere that you can check out in the video below.

If the mobile phone gods, qik, yahoo live and ustream are a little supportive we are coming up with something very special during the upcoming fashion week…

Never heard about them (to be honest), but thanks’ to Melvin Bronques i now discovered some great new band.

With some great mixuture of sythetisized sounds, singing and drumming with a non electronic drumset “MY PEOPLE” really rock the house as you can see in the video.
