The fields of fashion and art have been closely related practically forever. Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, for example, was close friends with fashion designers and even designed dresses himself. On the other hand, his artworks have also inspired fashion – in 2008, John Galliano took Klimt as a reference to create the Christian Dior Spring-Summer collection. The relationship between art and fashion is not only present on catwalks, however. Fashion is an identity definer in general – from fashion gods/goddesses to fashion victims. So how important is fashion for the art people in Berlin? We visited two of the top art exhibition parties at Cruise & Callas and Skalitzer’s Contemporary Art last Friday night to capture the style of gallerists, artists and visitors in the galleries. Here is the result:

Always a must! Choose shoes that match your outfit – or body art: Vibrant sneakers matching Philipp’s tattoos (see photo above)

Have your say: What do you think of the fashion at galleries and art parties in Berlin?
