After a pit stop in London, the City of York in the UK & Berlin, I headed to Munich to check out the highly anticipated Oktoberfest at the heart of it all. The event cited 6 million visitors in attendance! Not one to be left out, I was decked out in my own take on modern Dirndle, the traditional Bavarian attire, one of which is a vintage set from the 1960s. I do intend to wear them again in New York City where taking fashion into your own hands is nothing but creativity and being different. Heck! I once wore my vintage Japanese Kimono acquired during my visit to Kyoto down Madison Ave! I have no shame at all. 🙂 At the event, I also spotted African print dirndls! #Africagoingglobal
Naturally, you can’t be around the Oktoberfest festivities and not taste the beer. This visit would mark my very first time drinking beer! I was fortunate to have witnessed the Bavarian costume parade and the beer tent parade a day before, but sadly I have lost a lot of those pictures to my external drive refusing to open. I hope the very few from my mobile phone would suffice for now.
I can honestly check off attending Oktoberfest off my bucket list.
Schoene wiesn fuer alle!!!
