Reference Studios presents the fourth edition of INTERVENTION – a dynamic platform created and curated by the Berlin, Milan, and Paris-based communications agency, led artistically by Founder and CEO Mumi Haiati.

Building on the success of its critically praised winter edition at Kantgaragen in Charlottenburg, INTERVENTION returns this summer featuring innovative formats, landmark runway premieres and a steadfast dedication to strengthening Berlin’s cultural landscape through ambitious, international programming. Showcasing the highest level of design talent yet, the platform continues to expand its influence and visibility, attracting global attention and elevating Berlin’s status as a key player on the international fashion stage.

The program launches with an immersive pop-up by Mowalola at Reference Studios’ P100 space on Potsdamer Straße. Translating her radical design universe into physical form, the British-Nigerian designer makes her Berlin debut with a spatial intervention that reflects her subversive, genre-defying approach to fashion. The pop-up will be open to the public from July 2 to July 4.

INTERVENTION takes over the landmark Palais am Funkturm with a full-day runway program.

LUEDER returns for a third season, joined by UGG.
David Koma unveils his first-ever menswear presentation.
GmbH returns with their signature fusion of sharp tailoring and courageous storytelling.
Ottolinger, long one of Berlin’s most boundary-pushing labels, stages their first runway show in the city. 

LUEDER, David Koma, and GmbH are all recipients of the Berlin Contemporary award, presented by the Senate Department for Economic Affairs and Fashion Council Germany, led by Christiane Arp.

The series concludes with a special dinner celebrating Sinéad O’Dwyer, winner of the 2025 Zalando Visionary Award. Hosted in one of Berlin’s leading galleries, the evening includes an exclusive preview of her latest collection, staged through a striking Shibari performance. The event marks both the closing chapter of INTERVENTION and Zalando’s ongoing commitment to innovative approaches to fashion. 

INTERVENTION is supported by the Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Entreprises, as part of the official Berlin Fashion Week calendar. With special thanks to State Secretary Michael Biel.
