The First Ever Miss U-Bahn, Berlin

As if in compensation for the bad weather, the classy Miss U-Bahn event cut straight to the chase and took off with the underwear round. Creations by eight Berlin based designers covered the contestants’ private parts, each inspired by the historical background of the respective stations informatively recited by the moderator. [more]

Michalsky Bangs It

The new perfume by Michalsky – creatively named “Michalsky” – is out now. Creativity in general seems to be a rare commodity at the German designer’s headquarters, as the bottle design bears a striking resemblance to that of Marc Jacob’s new perfume BANG.

Das große Fressen, Gluttony Performed

In the 1973 French-Italian film “La Grande Bouffe” (German: Das große Fressen), four friends decide to lock themselves up for a weekend in a luxurious villa in a Parisian suburb for the express purpose of eating themselves to death. Gluttony, sexual excessiveness, bizarre suicide scenes and an over-flooded canalization add up to create grotesque and repulsive images that shocked its early 70’s audience. Warmly received by the critics, however, the film was understood as a critique on capitalism and bourgeois values of European society at the time. Making a clear reference to the film, the performance Das große Fressen, created by artists Caroline Hobkinson and Marija Bozinovska Jones at Berlin’s Grimmuseum invites the audience to explore their own relation to the deadly sin of gluttony.

The epithet “urban” is not limited to one specific discipline but rather encompasses everything from art to design, fashion, music and photography. These are the ideas behind the project L&M About, a collaboration between L&M and a host of young creative minds working in these disparate fields who contribute their designs to the limited edition packs in the series L&M About.
