On its way to becoming one of the European style set's most important gatherings, Berlin Fashion Week kicked off yesterday and runs till July 7. The up-and-coming talent, historic locations, and the parties (of course) all make the twice-per-year event a must-see for fashion gurus from all over Europe and the world!

Some months back, we had the chance to discuss some of the better places to relax, eat, party and - naturally - shop, with our friend Julia Knolle who is Editorial Lead of Vogue Digital Germany. She selected locations from her own neighborhood, Mitte, which are all within walking distance and worth every step!
