How to Get Turned Away From Europe's Hottest Nightclub

The stiff door policy at Berlin nightclub Berghain is the stuff of legend. Widely dubbed Europe's hippest place to dance since it opened in 2007, the converted power station and its tattoo-faced doormen have a reputation for being pickier about who they let in than the average Victorian-era duchess planning an At Home day.

But for those turned away, "help" is on the way. A new app, plainly titled "How to Get Into Berghain," has just been unveiled at Berlin’s Hackathon. In addition to the basics, like directions and DJ line-ups, it has a style section showing what clothes aspiring Berghain visitors should wear and where to buy them online. For what it's worth, the app's doorman-pleasing sartorial recommendation is to wear what looks like standard issue hipster gear, just mainly in black.
