Fashion Week turns Berlin into runway

Although most events are aimed at trade representatives and the fashion press, there is a specific effort to draw in the public, with a series of “Showroom Days” where various exhibitions, fashion shows and performances will be open to all.   Escada Sport will be the first big name to put models on the runway, with its show at the Brandenburg Gate on Wednesday, while German designer Michael Michalsky is set to close the week on Friday with a show at the Tempodrome venue, usually used for concerts.   Potsdamer Platz metro station will be temporarily turned into a runway by Unrath & Strano, while Chinese designer Wang Yutao will make his European debut with a show.
