Inside Iris Law’s Whirlwind Berlin Trip for the Saint Laurent Show

This week, model Iris Law touched down in Berlin—Germany’s capital city—to take in the new spring 2024 Saint Laurent menswear show as a VIP guest. While it wasn’t her first time exploring the beautiful city, Law says the experience of this fashion-filled trip was entirely different. “This was my second time in Berlin, but being shown around by a friend who lives here—and attending such a beautiful show—felt like I was able to see so much deeper into the community and art culture,” says Law. “It’s so rich and different from any other city.”

Before Law took in the sleek new men’s fashions, however, the star had some time to roam the city and take in its unique charms. One of her first stops? A visit to the flee market where she picked up a mouse-shaped earring. She also explored The Feuerle Collection, an art museum focused on Southeast Asian and Chinese art and design. “It’s one of the best exhibitions I’ve seen in a long time,” says Law. “It’s so beautifully and meticulously curated. I wish I had time to visit the Pergamonmuseum also.” 

Law also wanted to hit up many of Berlin’s delicious restaurants and cafés. For breakfast, she stopped by Ma-Makan. “I sat outside and had the most delicious Malaysian breakfast,” says Law. “It’s run by a group of young girls, and the sweet Pandan toast dipped with egg was unlike anything I’ve ever had. I will think about it all the time.” For lunch, she went with Lebanese fare. “I had the most delicious Msabbaha at Akroum Snack,” says Law. “It’s a small place with a big yellow front. I sat with the owner, and he served a big bowl of warm chickpeas with bread, onion, and tomato to scoop it up with. The food was so simple and comforting.”

Of course, Law’s trip to Berlin wasn’t complete without taking in the Saint Laurent show, too. When it came time for her to play dress up for the front row, the model opted for a brown leather top and skirt. “Wearing anything other than black to a Saint Laurent show felt like a decision,” jokes Law. “I love the combination of the brown tones. The pencil skirt and smooth leather felt so classic and refined—and then Anthony does what he does best by making it sexy, incorporating a low-cut neck.” 

As for her highlights from the menswear collectsion, Law was drawn to the use of neck-ties in the show, and the fluidity that was present throughout. “The movement as they walked with the backlight was incredible,” says Law. “I had two favorite looks: One was a vest top with a brown front and black back, and a flowing scarf. I liked the way the front and back felt so separate, but complementary. I also loved the satin T-shirt look. I love the shape, material, and fit of the shirt.”

What will Law be up to for the rest of the summer? “When I’m not working, I’ll spend time at my pottery studio,” says Law. “I love summer in London, so I don’t usually feel the need to travel. But I’d always love to go explore Asia if I get the chance—I’ll do that in August.”
