helsinki bikes: ride in style
the finns are not taking their bike business lightly. everyone here rides a bike and unlike, say, berliners, most people appear to ride fancy bikes, rather than fleamarket ones. maybe that's down to a lower rate f bike stealth, maybe it's the culture. i personally only recently bought a fancy bike (after riding an incredibly ugly grey mountain bike for 2 years), as i had been marvelling at proud holland bikes for the longest time.
while bike-spotting in helsinki, the biggest impression on me left this dude, apparantly a well-known finnish designer with one bad-ass ride...
lots of bright colors, such as green, yellow and orange on the finnish bikes, which i love. happy bike = happy rider.
and my personal favorite. a perfect salmon pink dream on wheels.

represent yourself, represent berlin.
it's time for another model call. only that this time, no big brand or label is involved - this is all about you and your vintage closet.
my dear friends Frank and Claudio from berlin superblog iheartberlin.de are curating this year's fashion show at Wedding Dress, an event that was originally created to make the seemingly unsexy disctrict of wedding, more appealing to artists, designers and other creatives. i've followed that call last year, when i found my photo studio there. like in the previous years, Wedding Dress will feature a runway show with hip berliners showing off their best vintage outfits. in order to find this year's "models", Frank and Claudio have teamed up with their blog besties to recruit the hottest bitches fashionistas in town.
if you think you've got what it takes, email 3 or 4 photos with your favorite vintage outfits to smackdown@iheartberlin.de. important detail - no labels are allowed, purely vintage and DIY.
oh, and boys - you're requested to apply as well, don't let the photo confuse you.
and here is another run through the details:
The Vintage Smackdown at Wedding Dress #6
Application Deadline: June 17, 2011
Send to: smackdown@iheartberlin.de
Online Smackdowns: June 27 – July 3, 2011
