Daniel Rodan, a German leather designer, has come out with a collection of Berlin Wall-themed clothing. The leather dresses and menswear feature art from the East Side Gallery--aka the 4,265 foot stretch of the Wall painted by nearly 120 artists from 21 countries twenty years ago. The graffiti has become a symbol of the East-West divide in that city that lasted for nearly 30 years.In a news conference, Rodan told reporters:
"Bringing together these three things: the political event, fashion design, and the art of the East Side Gallery, and then making sure the clothes fit on the celebrities -- it was a real challenge."The leather outfits will be worn by various celebrities and then auctioned off for charity after the 20th anniversary celebrations for the Wall commence on November 9.
