From hotel-inspired tailoring and cinematic storytelling to intimate presentations, experimental runways and artistic exhibitions—Berlin Fashion Week continues to prove why it’s one of the most exciting platforms for emerging and established fashion voices.
Highlights include Haderlump’s “Atrium”, SF1OG’s exploration of power and transformation, Clara Colette Miramon’s poetic “Humid”, the collaborative spirit of RAUM.Berlin, sample030’s RAW TERRITORY at Tempelhof Airport, and Edward L. Buchanan’s inspiring exhibition and the return of “Check Your Neck.”
HADERLUMP
Haderlump welcomed around 400 guests to the Grand Ballroom of Hotel Adlon Kempinski to present its new collection, “Atrium.” Comprising 28 looks, the collection introduced distinct characters while paying tribute to Creative Director Johann Ehrhardt’s early experience working as a hotel waiter. Built around the interplay of contrasts, the collection combined the label’s signature tailoring with denim, featured across trousers, shorts, dresses, and even boots.
Keys appeared as a recurring motif throughout the presentation. They referenced the crossed keys traditionally worn by hotel concierges. Reinterpreted as hand-held accessories, belt details, and hand-painted graphics on garments and bags. The presentation also introduced two new footwear styles developed in collaboration with footwear designer Matthias Winkler. Read more…
SF1OG
SF1OG presented its latest collection in a sports hall located on the upper floor of a residential building designed by Berlin architect Hinrich Baller. This season, the label explored the duality of good and evil. They drew inspiration from Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria. In this film, dance functions not only as movement but also as a symbol of control, transformation, and hidden authority.
Expanding on this narrative, the collection examined how evil often remains concealed within institutions, traditions, and established power structures. This sense of ambiguity was reflected in the interplay of materials, including velvet, satin, sheer fabrics, and leather. The presentation was accompanied by a live musical performance inspired by the traditional Easter processions of Seville, reinforcing the collection’s dramatic and ritualistic atmosphere. Read more…
CLARA COLETTE MIRAMON
Clara Colette Miramon presented her Spring/Summer 2027 collection, “Humid.” This collection explores the concept of humidity as a metaphor for growth, transformation, memory, and desire. It is not viewed as a climatic condition. The collection was inspired by tropical summers. More specifically, it was influenced by a journey to Thailand. It translated the coexistence of beauty and decay into a refined visual narrative.
A recurring motif was a playful elephant print, which also appeared on the label’s ballet flats. Together with a pair of peep-toe heels, the designs marked the brand’s first footwear collection. Lace, bows, tulle, ruffles, and PVC elements further defined the collection’s distinctive aesthetic. Read more…
RAUM.BERLIN
On the third day of RAUM.Berlin, the designers’ presentations engaged in a dialogue of intimacy, memory, and community. Anne Bernecker staged an atelier salon show. This allowed visitors to experience the creative process alongside the runway presentation.
With “Dressing like a Girl”, Sofia Hermens Fernandez created a space that bridged a childhood bedroom and a mother’s wardrobe. PALMWINE IceCREAM immersed guests in a setting inspired by African landscapes. TATi’s “Knitting is my Rave” recalled the intimate ritual of friends getting ready for a night out. Accompanied by a performative DJ set.
SAMPLE030
With RAW TERRITORY SS27, sample030 is showcasing its new collection at Tempelhof Airport – a place that once stood for the control of flight movements and take-off and landing traffic. Today, the former tarmac is used by city dwellers for sport, leisure and socializing. The runway follows the former take-off and landing strips, transforming them into a stage for the show.
Sound and repetition characterise the presentation, linking the history of the site with the presence of the people who use it today. The collection takes up a simple idea. A place only becomes its own through the people who use it – not through its original function. Read more…
DWARD BUCHANAN
Edward L. Buchanan’s second solo exhibition at Semjon Contemporary was extended as part of Berlin Fashion Week. The exhibition concluded with a finissage on Saturday, July 4. This event also marked the reintroduction of Buchanan’s “Check Your Neck” initiative. This initiative is a series of knitted scarves featuring woven messages.
