We would love YackFou even without its cool anagram name. 'Function follows form' is the
anti-Bauhaus motto of Tobias and Martin, who've applied their graphic-design background
to a line of T-shirts, hoodies and sweaters that define the Berlin look. You can even create
your own piece from a selection of 120 motifs.

This store was a pioneer on Wühlischstrasse, aka Friedrichshain's 'fashion mile'. Low-key
and friendly, it's great for kitting yourself out head to toe in grown-up streetwear by such la-
bels as Blutsgeschwister, skunkfunk and Tokyo Jane. Also, chic undies by Pussy Deluxe and
Vive Maria.
