Continuing our Berlin Fashion Week Brand Selection Special, we headed out into the rain to visit Capsule. (An informed observer might notice that we did end up with a mixture between brands showing in Berlin and those showing in Paris. If you spot which ones they are, we will try to buy you a Moscow Mule next time you are in town. Promise.)

As always, here are some of our favorites.

With Pitti Uomo in Florence having already built up tons of anticipation, Fashion Week is once again upon Berlin. So of course we are really excited to see what’s coming to town this week!

Here’s a look at a couple of our favorite brands participating at some of the shows.

First stop SEEK.

As we are (to some extent) part of the internet startup scene, we follow its protagonists quite closely. We couldn’t help noticing the style of the co-founder and CEO of one the most talked about companies, Soundcloud, Alexander Ljung. You are probably familiar with them already. In case you are not, in their own words:

“SoundCloud is the world’s leading social sound platform where anyone can create sounds and share them everywhere.”

They believe that “Sound will be bigger than video”

(Source LeWeb)

(For more thoughts on that, see comments here.)

Based on his broad collection of glasses, we wonder if he has a deal with Berlin based Lunettes Selection or Mykita, both of which have their shops right around the corner from the Soundcloud HQ. (We also heard rumors in regards to a preference towards Oliver Peoples)

Alex was raised in Sweden, which carries the general reputation of being a country of discerning gentlemen.

Soundcloud is hiring, seems like an awesome company to work for, so checkout the openings.

We first came across Hixsept L’oiseau gris via our friends in Montreal, OLDgOLD Boutique.

The brand was founded by two French artists, Aurélien Arbet and Jérémie Egry. With others they also started Je Suis une Bande de Jeunes, that supports and publishes contemporary photography. They transit between Paris and New York.

Here are our favorite pieces (some on sale right now)

Hopefully we get around to making a City Visit post soon, too much remarkable stuff in Montreal. (It also has a special place in the history of Discernism. Maxwell and Markus were already dreaming up related things on Mont-Royal, actually the mountain and the avenue, back in 2009)
