For me—above all—Berlin is synonymous with freedom, the liberty to be what you want to be and to do what you want to do. This is the city where there’s a place for everything, and everything has its place! Exempt from convention, Berlin allows people to express themselves freely, may it be artistically, sexually or in any other form!
Norbert Tillmann is Managing Director of the fashion exhibition, Premium. As a partner to Anita Tillmann, he founded Premium in 2002. Since then, he has been able to develop Premium’s visionary concept of selection, high quality and exclusivity in a modern environment, making an international mark on the fashion world. The hype that has surrounded Berlin’s young design scene in recent years is the reason tens of thousands of buyers representing clients from Los Angeles to Hong Kong, international journalists and hundreds of labels will be descending on Berlin by mid July.
New Yorkers say Berlin is the SoHo of Europe.
