This week at Refinery29, check out the first installment of "Postcard from Berlin", which focuses on the neighborhood Mitte (the heart of the city), home to plenty of Berlin's best small stores and restaurants as well as great custom leather goods, inventive wallpapers, and hard-to-find local designers. Back home in New York, the editors of the site have chosen their favorite designers and collections from Fashion Week in a colorful roundup of the year's most promising independent designers. Finally, there is a quick profile of the duo behind Smythe Les Vestes, two designers who have built an entire gorgeous collection on the simple premise of the "perfect little jacket."
