Don’t mess with Julia Kelz: she owns a black belt in karate, has an education in all kinds of dances and speaks four languages.

Apart from acting on stages in Köln, Stuttgart, Milano and Leverkusen, she is working hard on her singing career. “Take me into the Sea“ is just one example of her oral abilities. Does she ever sleep? In case you want to see her, you have to go to Hollywood, cause that’s where she’s taking acting classes right now.

This guy has eyes like a tamed tiger and the body of Apollon, plays the horn, rows and is totally into Southern European gals.

No wonder he was a contestant for Mister Switzerland. August Wick just graduated from the European Film Acting School and can proove substantial stage-acting experience in his portfolio: he was Kasimir in “Kasimir and Karoline” and  Silivio in “Diener zweier Herren”.

For her first appearance on screen in 2011, Carolina was casted as a tough farmer’s girl from the North of Germany who falls in love with a Russian soldier-hunk in 1945. 

After having worked in theaters in Erfurt, Zwickau and Pforzheim, her talent is currentley on display at Junges Schauspielhaus Hamburg.

Sensous and sensitive – that’s what they are, the rockers from So:Ja, which translates to something like “Just like that“, not to confuse with “soy“ (“Soja“ in German) – a tricky double entendre.

This is Boyzone with a down to earth touch. Lyrics like “I feel weak and all alone when you are not here with me” breathe a mature honesty, far away from promises such as “Just one night”. Go to their gigs at Weisse Rose in Schöneberg to melt away.

“One moment in time“ is one hell of a dramatic song by crack-loving Whitney Houston.

Just as catchy is “1 moment“, sixth song on the album Heavy Chansons by Berlin-based trio Shirley Holmes, which undeniably must be Sherlock Holmes’ daughter or cat. The three of them put out quite a show if you get a chance to see them live. One half of their songs is in English, the other in German

Ecke Schönhauser is a neighborhood in Berlin, a film from the 50′s about youth, James Deanian rebels and a band of two guys.

Florian Pühs and Philipp Lippitz, channelled their emotions after being dumped by their girlfriends into an album and wrote “love protest punk songs” with such telling titles as “Finally someone who is not a piece of shit“. What a sweet way to tell your girl you love her.

Imagine Alice returned from wonderland and brought back some clothing suggestions: how to take the bitch out of the regular girl on the street and turn her into a more innocent and lovely being.

Magdalena Stark has earned her master’s degree in Denmark, worked in Stockholm, Paris (for the infamous JC de Castelbajac) and Berlin and was nominated for Mercedes Benz’s Designer for Tomorrow award.

Anet Schmieder is not quite done with school yet but has already developed grand ideas for clothing beyond traditon.

Fashion designers nowadays have to get out there and look for inspiration. She found it in Thailand and Tajikistan. We wonder if some mountain shepherds told her that it would be great to recycle her Take That cd’s and use them on a jacket.

This bearded, blond Nordic God came right down from thundering heavens to teach us humans a lesson in simple design.

Born close to the shores of the Baltic Sea, Paul Evermann settled in Halle after his education at the Academy of Arts and Design. The wardrobe bench he developed together with Stephan Schulz looks like a minimalized locker-room setting where anything can happen.

How will Howitz and Weissbach descent from this fragile white throne? Nevermind – the look of their fourth collection High Class Robbery is awesome.

Who might think that they are rooted in the area and culture of Saxony? Their home town Leipzig, its surrounding area and Russian Constructionism have inspired much of their architectural fashion designs. The local industry can be lucky: they only produce their lines in traditional manufacturing companies from Saxony.
