Models sport leather dresses by German designer Daniel Rodan during a promotion for the 'Mauerkleider - East Side Gallery goes Fashion' as they pose in front of Russian's artist Dmitry Vrubel mural of former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev kissing his East German counterpart Erich Honecker, at the restored segment of East Side Gallery, the largest remaining part of the former Berlin Wall, in Berlin November 6, 2009. A 1,300 metres (4,265 ft) stretch of wall, the world's longest open-air art gallery, was decorated by 118 artists from 21 countries in 1990, but has since been damaged by the weather, exhaust fumes, vandals, and souvenir-seeking tourists. The restoration work was completed in time for the 20-year anniversary in November of the fall of the wall which once divided communist East Berlin from capitalist west Berlin.
