PALMWINE IceCREAM
With “Life Moodboard”, the African brand PALMWINE IceCREAM presented its collection at Berlin Fashion Week. Designer Kusi Kubi crafted most of his designs from upcycled leather, which was meticulously hand-dyed.
Standout pieces included a sleeveless blazer mini dress, perfectly tailored blazers, and mixed-material trousers, each made half from leather and half from deadstock denim. A color palette of warm brown and yellow tones, combined with bold green, pink, and black, reflected the designer’s emotions and experiences – turning the collection into a visual mood board of his life.

Maximilian Gedra
Maximilian Gedra once again invited guests to the Halle am Berghain for the conclusion of the NEWEST series, where he presented a gender-inclusive reinterpretation of classic business fashion with his collection “The Office”. Using second-hand materials such as cotton, faux fur, leather and wool, he created striking silhouettes by hand.
Oversized shoulder pads that protruded over the models’ heads and an immobilising pencil skirt symbolised the pressures of the modern working world. The highlight of the show was a long-sleeved maxi dress made up of thousands of safety pins. Read more…

Gerte’s characteristic thick piping also featured in this collection and was reflected in the cables that hung from the ceiling and adorned some of the garments. This subtle connection between the designs and the backdrop almost blurred the line between man and technology. Read more…
Andrej Gronau
Andrej Gronau closed the INTERVENTION format on sunday with a collection inspired by small mementos from childhood, inviting the audience to take a closer look.
This revealed skirts and scarves with textures as fluffy as those of stuffed animals, star-shaped cut-outs on boots and leather jackets that brought back memories of handicrafts, and glittering hats whose delicate shimmer still captivates us today. In doing so, he showed that the true value of clothing is not only measured materially, but above all emotionally. Read more…
