Berliner Chic

Since becoming the capital of reunited Germany, Berlin has had a dose of global money and international style added to its already impressive cultural veneer. Once home to emperors and dictators, peddlers and spies, it is now a fashion showplace that attracts the young and hip. Moving beyond descriptions of Berlin's fashion industry and its ready-to-wear clothing,Berliner Chiccharts the turbulent stories of entrepreneurially-savvy manufacturers and cultural workers striving to establish their city as a fashion capital, and being repeatedly interrupted by politics, ideology, and war. There are many stories to tell about Berlin's fashion industry andBerliner Chictells them all with considerable expertise.

Susan Ingram is Associate Professor and Coordinator of European Studies at York University. Katrina Sark is a PhD Student in the Department of German Studies, McGill University.
