Even though the trade shows offer interesting venus, luckily the Fashion week is not just about the trade shows! During the fashion week there are plenty of fashion tourist around and the Berlin boutiques in downtown are putting out the best they have.
The city is literally full of places that are worth to visit, during the day, for shopping and after-hours for launch parties and other cool surprising events. To choose some, visit at least Mullachstrasse in Mitte for its many nicely curated shops that feature international fashion brands or Bikini Berlin for the special concept mall and nice variety of coffees if the weather gets too hot!
And of course, as the city is filled with fashion and fashion people, you can just find a nice coffee place and enjoy the stream of people passing by! That is real life fashion at its best.
