Capsule is a Berlin Fashion Week tradeshow where you'll find more fashion literate and less commercial labels like Norse Projects, Wood Wood, Warriors of Radness, and also, weirdly, Topman—WTF? Exactly.

The great thing about using skateboards in fashion shoots is that, even if the model clearly doesn't skate, your shoot instantly becomes a part of the cultural zeitgeist because skateboarding is mega hot right now.

As well as being the most exciting store in one of the world's weirder fashion capitals, Ra go out of their way to stock new young and obscure designers, sometimes even financing the first production run, exhibit weird artists, and throws amazing parties.
