Are you based in Berlin or just happen to be in the city for the weekend? You’re in luck. Berlin-based agency Reference Studios is hosting a 24-hour festival entitled Reference Berlin with a stellar line-up of creatives across the worlds of art, fashion, and film – and it’s totally free and open to everyone.
Themed around ‘Working Out Loud’, the debut event will feature an Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) workshop hosted by Alyx, while Dazed Beauty’s Isamaya Ffrench teams up with Fecal Matter and Cala for a panel around the theme of ‘Technology in the Age of Fashion’.
Elsewhere, Dazed 100 photographer and filmmaker Jordan Hemingway will team up with Jan Heinrich to explore ecstasy in pop culture for a new book that documents the largest collection of pills worldwide. Matt Lambert will collaborate with Comme des Garçons for the 25th anniversary of its parfums, creating three films for three new scents. And if you wanted a glimpse into Michel Gaubert’s iPhone camera roll, look no further than his installation that pays homage to A Clockwork Orange.
And there’s more, with further contributions from the likes of Martine Rose, 032c, Diesel Red Tag, and Gentle Monster. If you’re not around, no need to worry! Stay tuned for everything that went down after the event ends.
