Berlin, Autumn/Winter 2012 – Different from the woman who has the makeup as a resource to express individuality, the man has the facial hair. A true gentleman is aware of this fact and plays with his beard for his own benefit. An excellent example of this came from friendly German journalist Jan Joswig, who we found in the tent of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin.

Mr. Joswig has an irreverent Chevron moustache that is combined with round frame glasses and a hat typical from the region of Bavaria called “Trachtenhut”. He, who went to the shows with his bicycle, opted for the moustache after years using a full beard.

It’s very interesting to notice the use of moustaches more and more present among young people on the streets of Berlin. Sign of the times considering that the beard is a common sense now.
