Ellen Allien Unveils New Fashion Line
Tour With Apparat

Producer/DJ/label owner Ellen Allien wears many hats. She also wears many dresses. The artist recently launched the Ellen Allien Fashion Line, in cooperation with designer Markus Stich, now available online and in select Berlin stores.

The summer 2006 line contains ruffly country skirts and dresses with just a hint of the space age, while a press release informs us that the fall/winter collection "will have straighter cuts and lines and be very feminine-- all in black or white" and will be featured in more select stores worldwide.

Also, "Ironing is forbidden." Ya.

Allien's last fashion venture was a clothing and shoe line called Thrills, just like her 2005 solo album. Today: self-titled fashion lines; tomorrow: the world.

Ellen Allien has a lengthy tour scheduled for the rest of the summer and fall, both solo and with her Orchestra of Bubbles partner Apparat.
