HOLY SHIT SHOPPING – is a fair for young art and contemporary design. For the past 12
years, this holiday season design platform has represented up to 340 handpicked young
designers, artists and creative people from all over Germany – and, increasingly, from all
over Europe. On the Advent weekends the charming, alternative Christmas market will go
on tour, with 2-day stops in four cities: Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Stuttgart. The event’s
concept brings together fashion, jewelry, and product design, small furniture and living
accessories, art, photography, graphics, literature as well as culinary offerings in
architecturally interesting locations. For one weekend in each city, a gigantic pop-up
store catering to discerning shoppers and design enthusiasts takes place on up to 8000
square meters of exhibition space. Mellow beats presented by local DJ’s and a street-food
market round off the event. Visitors can enjoy a cup of mulled wine in hand, relax and
escape the stress of the holiday season.
