Normally, my life is not that hectic.
But it's Fashion Week.
Everything comes together.
I exhibit with my label,
I hosted a show, after the Fashion Week
I have a casting for a TV show.
My diary is so full, it's a nightmare.
I set up the stand.
And I brought the bags and set everything up.
I prepared the labels in advance.
It's a lot of work
but then I know what it looks like.
Right. Done.
We're in KaDeWe, it's an accolade.
This is the new collection. City Bag is new...
The inside shows the African temperament
which is definitely dormant in me.
I'm a designer, that's right.
Each bag was a drawing on my desk first.
I'm very happy with the results.
Where is Tao?
Unbelievable, my assistant isn't here.
I think I have to go and leave the stand alone.
Let's go, quick.
It's always been my goal to earn money
with my own creativity at some point.
But I didn't take the classic route,
I never studied design or fashion or so.
I slid into it as an auto-didact.
I'm off to the Brandenburg Gate
where the tent is.
It's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week
and all the big shows are there.
I have to go to the Minx one.
That's what I'm wearing.
I have to be there, so they can photograph me.
But we're totally on time.
I can go a little slower.
My boots, look at them.
Oh, crap.
It's over there.
It's so cold.
It's great to get to the red carpet
with a red nose because it's minus five degrees.
It's full and I must get to the catwalk.
Shall I take yours?
Yes, thanks.
Please smile and look straight ahead, thanks.
I have an invitation.
I'll take you there.
It's good to sit.
I think it's great. And the question is, why not?
Should one do that?
That was product placement.
A little? Great, great. Thanks.
See you later.
Hi, it's Annabelle Mandeng.
Are you on your way to pick me up?
Maybe I need to get another shuttle.
But I'll only make it with you on time.
I need my makeup for the show.
I was supposed to be picked up,
but the driver can't make it.
She called to say I can go with you
because I need to get over there.
To Bread & Butter, Platz der Luftbrücke.
I have to say I thought the show was good.
There were two or three things I really liked,
but for me the style was too reserved.
It's alright occasionally,
but I prefer it with more sex appeal.
Now we're at Bread & Butter in Tempelhof.
I've been invited by Nobis.
They make beautiful coats,
and they give me one. I look forward to that.
I have a spot.
Thank you very much. You, too. Bye.
How are you? I'm very happy you're here.
I'm happy, too.
I'm a total hat fetishist. I have tons of hats.
My fetish includes shoes
and handbags. I'm a woman.
How about this one?
The mirrors are a little low.
A picture of all four.
Should we wear the coats?
All four ladies, no coats.
Close together, please.
Right, we're all having fun. First appointment on Fashion week.
Right, let's get out of here.
Bye, see you.
I have 35 minutes for my makeup now.
I won't make it.
But the show isn't until 6pm, so I hope it's OK.
I'm really tired.
No, not all my days are like this.
I don't think I'd survive.
I tend to get ulcers when I get too stressed.
I've never been here before.
I don't know this place.
We're on our way to the makeup.
You want me to come to you right away?
Freedom.
This is good, you can use this as a highlight.
And apart from that...
use... Is this all the colours you have?
Nice trick, huh?
This is the right dress, yes?
I tried the dress on yesterday
and they took it in a bit.
It's great. It's tightly laced.
It's a bit rough on the skin,
because of the seams and it's all paper.
It's a bit sore, but...
That's the catwalk.
You suffer for the moment. It's OK.
We're all backstage, it's about to start.
I'll be on the catwalk after this exciting day.
My boyfriend's watching. Then we'll go for dinner
and relax on the sofa. See you.
