Philip Gaedicke, aka Philly Vanilli, doesn’t speak much, but does a lot. He’s the co-founder of SOTO, the Berlin menswear boutique which also doubles as a brand consultancy, PR, marketing and events agency. He’s also the curator of MADE, a creative platform that supports emerging talent from all genres. Philly has been living in Berlin for five years now and doesn’t plan to leave any time soon. Check out everything from the trend-led, to the handmade, to vintage classics, in his guide to Berlin’s shopping scene.

This is my little baby where I sell things I love including brands like Our Legacy, Band of Outsiders, Adam Kimmel, Thom Browne, Norse Projects etc. It’s a good mix of casual wear with a lot of basics to premium streetwear.
Another baby of ours where we support creative minds from all fields to realize their dream projects. We create projects with all kinds of artists from all kinds of fields.
The only real shopping destination in Kreuzberg. The shop is hidden in the backyard and is super well-decorated. Their strongest items are all the small little things you don’t need, but want to have.
The Wood Wood crew are good friends of ours and we love their selection of Scandinavian designers and of course their always emerging Wood Wood line.
Berlin’s iconic second-hand shop with a huge array of Cheap Monday.
If you’re looking for authentic Heritage menswear, this is the place to be! Super nice staff. For real men only.
Definitely worth checking it out when you’re looking for a more skate-oriented style. Lot of T-Shirts, Hoodies and 5-panel caps from your favourite bands such as HUF, Anything, Nike SB, Vans etc. They also run art exhibitions in their space.
For me definitely the best shop in Berlin. Great selection of designers like Dries van Noten, Maison Margiela, Yohi Yamamoto and Balenciaga, plus a wide array of product design and furniture.
Best selection when it comes to Japanese premium streetwear. Brands include Visvim, White Mountaineering, Neighbourhood, W-Taps etc.
