At The Hot Dogs on the corner of Zollergasse and Lindengasse, Mandarina Brausewetter presents her striking t-shirts and blazers inspired by street graffiti and finished in sweatshirt material with puffy sleeves. Labels such as Artista and Sesenta y Nueve, as well as newcomers including University of Applied Arts graduate Doychinoff, as well as Nyka-Lyn, Rnat and Actrid Platz are also in stock.

Melanie de Goederen’s label Buntwäsche has set up shop diagonally opposite. Here, combination is the order of the day. You can create you own custom shirt from a range of different cuts, colors, sleeve lengths and printed patterns. There are also adorable brightly colored frilly skirts, leggings and bodies for next generation fashionistas.

A few buildings further on, Sandra Gilles’s la petite boutique tempts impulse buyers with delicate lace shirts and airy cloth bags. If you re-cross Lindengasse at this point you will find yourself in front of Wabisabi’s window. Japanese is the hallmark of Stefanie Wippel’s collection of flowing legwear and jersey tops in white and black, which can be worn together in many different combinations.

Only a short walk away are two other boutiques well known to fashion insiders. Number 43 is home to Ozelot tarpaulin and recycled bags. Materials used include old fire hoses and air beds. There is also funky jewelry crafted from computer components. At the other end, on the corner of Lindengasse and Stiftgasse, is the Lila Pix showroom whose hand printed silk scarves, and butterfly and beetle outline jewelry draw admiring looks.
