Bed-Week at Mimi Berlin

Simply because of the fact that it’s the first week of 2017 we, at Mimi Berlin, decided to spend this week in bed. We understand that not everyone is this privileged; so, if you really need to be outside here are some tips to cosy up on the cold winter streets >>>>>>>>>>

‘Peace of history: John Lennon’s ‘Bed Peace’ art will be familiar ifyou’ve watched footage of his and Yoko’s famous under-duvet protestsin the 1960s – this artwork is expected to bring $100,000 The felt-tip pen on foam board art’s provenance goes back to John and Yoko’s seven-day “bed-in for peace” held in 1969.’ (via justcollecting.com)

Lanvin fall-winter 2013

Posted on 22/09/2013 by Mimi Berlin Amsterdam

Lanvin fall-winter 2013. Lets concentrate on a new wardrobe for this winter and start with one of our favorite shows, by Lanvin. So much to see here. The use of flowers, insects and butterflies translated into fluttering blouses, prints and sturdy jewelry, they give this rather dark and severe collection it’s light hearted touch. SO Much FUN to watch…and wear!
