In our fashion
obsessed world
in which
extravagances à
la Lady Gaga are
idolized,
“Comrade
Couture” brings
us into the
amazing parallel
universe of East
Berlin's
alternative
fashion scene
where
individualism
was considered
as something
dangerously
subversive.
Director Marco
Wilms, once a
fashion model in
East Berlin,
delivers a
humorous film
about creativity
as a life force
– and the
enduring desire
for individual
freedom.
2009 Berlin
International
Film Festival
Panorama
The director of
Comrade
Couture,
Marco Wilms will
attend the Q &A
session after
the screening on
August 27 at the

“Lagerfeld
Confidential” is
the first

enigmatic of its
icons: designer
Karl Lagerfeld.
After three
years of work,
and over three
hundred hours of
footage,
Director
Rodolphe Marconi
discloses the
daily life of
the reclusive
star and
examines
fashion’s
dichotomous
place within pop
culture.
“Lagerfeld
Confidential is
an intimate
portrait of the
designer who has
ruled the House
of Chanel for
more than two
decades.”
