Berlin Fashion Week SS26: A Celebration of Sustainable and Inclusive Design

From June 30 – July 3 2025, Berlin will once again become a global stage for forward-thinking fashion during Berlin Fashion Week. With a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity, the event reflects the city’s unique position at the intersection of design, creativity, and social change.

The official calendar, now live, features a rich mix of fashion shows, exhibitions, panels, and presentations across the city. Emerging talents and established labels alike will present their latest collections, many of which embrace circular design principles, low-impact production methods, and inclusive narratives.

This season, Berlin continues to redefine what fashion can be—not just a style statement, but a driver of transformation. As a UNESCO City of Design, Berlin demonstrates how the fashion industry can contribute meaningfully to urban development, cultural dialogue, and environmental responsibility.

Highlights of the week include the Berlin Contemporary selection, spotlighting ten rising labels supported by the Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises, as well as community-driven formats such as STUDIO2RETAIL, which bridges the gap between designers and the public with open studios, in-store events, and talks.

 

Highlights of this season’s Berlin Contemporary lineup include avant-garde collective GmbH, architectural minimalists Haderlump, and the dystopian silhouettes of LUEDER, alongside international names like David Koma, Gerrit Jacob, and IOANNES. Also featured are Berlin-based Lou de Bètoly, the performative designs of Sia Arnika, and global voices such as Ghana’s Palmwine IceCREAM and Ukraine’s PLNGNS—each reflecting Berlin’s bold, inclusive, and globally connected fashion scene.

Berlin Fashion Week invites both professionals and the broader public to engage with design in motion—collaborative, experimental, and rooted in the values of a creative city looking toward a sustainable future.
