Biography
Britt was born in Berlin, just five years after the second world war and has seen many changes over the years. She began a successful dance career in the 60's which took her beyond her native city but she always returned. By the mid 80's she was an established part of the thriving art and club scene and the wall came down in 1989. The infamous club she co founded 90° was now open to East and West and continued until 2007. Britt currently lives in Charlottenburg in West Berlin and is known for her authenticity, ecclectic style, charisma and love of dance.

72961Some people become more cautious with age. Some people became more free. With Britt, we explored ageing, elegance, authenticity, and how to remain true to yourself in a world that constantly asks people to prove who they are. For Her, true style does not come from trends. It comes from within. Interview featured in the LEVIA Magazine Cannes 2026 Special Issue.
