PIN–UP BERLIN. VERY RARE. The result of PIN–UP’s three-months stay in the German capital. Showgirls, Hitler, Schinkel — but also Chipperfield, Ludwig Leo, Brandlhuber, and Jürgen Mayer H. Plus a special visit to Berlin’s biggest mosque. Not to be missed, for Berlin fans and PIN–UP lovers alike. (2021 cover reinterpretation by Davit Giorgadze.)
