BYREDO’S KANTHA COLLECTION CALLS A NEW BAG ITS OWN: THE WHOO  

The Whoo bag is dedicated to everyday practicality yet has the finest design: It’s made of calf leather that has the potential to age beautifully, has one of six different colored stones as a decorative element, and features a hand-embroidered adjustable leather strap, making it a perfect fit for wearing across the body or over-the-shoulder. But the refined details don’t stop on the outside–the inside is embellished with a hand-drawn illustration. A love message to Indian ancestral stitching and leather craftsmanship, that’s The Whoo bag, which is available in select Byredo stores from February 25th.

REFERENCE STUDIO’S INTERVENTION FEATURES GMBH, LUEDER, ANDREJ GRONAU & KASIA KUCHARSKA  

Berlin, Milan & Paris-based communications agency Reference Studios did it again: hosting the INTERVENTION for the third time, a platform for designers during the Berlin Fashion Week to showcase their latest designs. This year’s event will take place on the premises of Kantgaragen, a former car park built in 1929, and the designers who will present their fashion at the INTERVENTION are highly presentable. On one hand, the winners of the Berlin Contemporary Prize, GmbH, LUEDER, and Andrej Gronau. On the other hand, award-winning Kasia Kucharska carried the day at the FCG/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2024.  

On Feb February 2nd, the INTERVENTION will fill the whole day with a diversified program: Besides the fashion shows of the style-wise very different designers, a jazz concert sponsored by Levi’s will take place, as well as performances and workshops organized by UGG to connect the visitors between the shows. Art, fashion, and emerging talents will make the INTERVENTION an unmissable event at Berlin Fashion Week.  

THE PURE AND PRISTINE COLLECTION BY LORO PIANA INTERIORS DEBUTED AT PARIS DÉCO OFF  

The new Loro Piana Pure and Pristine collection is an ode to softness and simplicity. Sleek, curved shapes are paired with high-quality merino wool, while modern, velvety variations of linen fabrics combined with soft rugs create a calm, organic overall aesthetic. Among the collection’s highlights is the freestanding, both functional and decorative, Trama bookshelf. Crafted from fabric panels and walnut wood, its narrow gaps allow a touch of light to pass through. Designed by Francesca Lanzavecchia, Trama is an unusually multi-textural interpretation of a bookshelf. Additionally, the collection includes various sofa and armchair designs, coffee tables, a hand-knotted rug, and more. 

 

A SMILING BAG: THE PEEKABOO SOFT SMALL  

Known from the Women’s Spring/Summer 2025 runway, Fendi’s Peekaboo Soft Small bag has now been introduced officially to all bag-lovers with a video by film director Emir Eralp. Underlined by the song Little Man by the Swedish electronic music band Little Dragon, this bag has its great moment. Three young women are strolling around Rome with a Peekaboo Soft Small on their shoulders or in their hands, fetching up in a cinema and enjoying their time. The song’s driving synth-pop beats make this video a joyful, diverting experience.  

And the bag? It’s just as lightweight as the video. In the words of Silvia Venturini Fendi, FENDI’s Artistic Director of Accessories and Menswear: “The leather is soft and it’s like it’s smiling when you open it. This bag smiles. It’s more accessible, more revealing of what’s inside. It’s like an identity card for the person wearing it”.

FOTOGRAFISKA BERLIN INVITES TO GO ON A CREATIVE JPURNEY WITH FRANK OCKENFELS 3 

“My favorite thing that ever happens is when people tell me, ‘I had no idea about your work, I don’t really know your work, I’m not sure I even like your work – but it inspired me to go get a journal and start doing something.’ With that, for me, I’m done.”, said photographer and artist Frank Ockenfels 3 once. And soon, his work could inspire even more people in person. From January 30th, Fotografiska Berlin opens its doors, leading to Introspection, an exhibition showcasing the creative work of Frank Ockenfels 3. He is famous for his expressive portraits and got David Lynch, Milla Jovovich, David Bowie, and many more in front of his lens. The use of means such as scissors, ink and charcoal, give his portraits an unusual, collage-like look. This unconventional approach is also transported in the exhibition, which should not just introduce the artist, but also inspire the viewers to follow the individual path of their own creative journey.  

 

DAN–CONCEPTUAL ARTIST CARLO ZANNI’S NEW EXHIBITION  

Banquet Gallery presents DAN, the first solo exhibition by Italian conceptual artist Carlo Zanni at the venue, running until March 1st. The exhibition showcases Zanni’s recent work across paintings, sculptures, and a digital performance, addressing themes of consumerism, identity, and anxiety within a “forever war” context. Central to the exhibition are Zanni’s Check-Out Paintings, abstract canvases that delve into the emotional complexities of online purchasing. Using emojis, these artworks bridge digital culture with traditional art forms and invite contemplation of modern anxieties and desires shaped by eCommerce. Also, Zanni debuts the title work DAN, an installation of laser-engraved MDF boxes featuring distorted Amazon Prime logos created with an early version of DALL-E. The internet performance, My Shameful Sweet Spot Between Distress and Hilarity, rounds the exhibition off and hints at the absurdity of consumer culture in a political context.  

ZALANDO INTRODUCES MARINE SERRE’S CAPSULE COLLECTION
