Belleville, like many of Berlin's stores, is a multi-use space that provides more than just innovative fashion for men and women. Look closely at the bird in their logo (a large-scale replica graces the wall of the store) and you'll notice it's composed of mini-icons of death, war, and commerce. Since opening last December they've been hosting events featuring DJs and live music. Stocked with lines like Nudie, Jenny Hellström, the Berlin-based Reality Studio, WeAr and one they publish themselves, there's more than one reason to add Belleville to your Berlin itinerary.

More pictures after the jump.
