BERLIN NIGHT AFTER GLOW

Kehrer Verlag and Chris Noltekuhlmann present Berlin Night After Glow, a new book of portraits capturing the faces of Berlin’s club scene over two years. Set against the city’s historic backdrop, the images reveal the energy, freedom, and creativity of nightlife as a space for self-expression.

Noltekuhlmann photographed bouncers, artists, DJs, and professionals, often after long nights out, producing an intimate record of a culture in constant flux. From fetish-inspired outfits to eclectic fashion that transcends gender norms, the portraits celebrate individuality and the enduring spirit of Berlin’s clubs. The book includes an introductory essay and interviews, offering insight into a unique cultural ecosystem where hedonism, ritual, and creativity meet.

DANCÆ X CHLÄR PERFORMANCE SERIES

DANCÆ x Chlär introduces a new choreographic work that explores how body, sound, and machine intelligence interact, presented over six evenings at Berlin’s Haus der Visionäre. The dancers move in direct response to Chlär’s live electronic set and a 360° spatial sound installation, making sound the driving force of the performance.

The first act, The Flag by Elizaveta Poliakova, is a solo shaped by Felix Kiessling’s large-scale fabric installation and reflects on balance and orientation within shifting conditions.

The second act, a new ballet by Ballet Sur_real & Chlär, examines how consciousness transforms through data and algorithms, contrasting human rhythm with repetition and code.

Choreographers Soraya Schulthess and Renato De Leon unite dance, electronic music, and site-specific design to create an immersive, multi-sensory performance experience.

ALPHA INDUSTRIES X THUG CLUB

Alpha Industries and the Seoul based label Thug Club present their first collaboration for FW25.

The collection fuses the military heritage of Alpha Industries with the distinct visual identity of Thug Club, reinterpreting iconic archive pieces through a contemporary lens. Statement styles such as the CWU 45/P and the N 3B are reimagined by Thug Club, merging the symbolism and character of both brands into bold, standout pieces.

Founded in 2018 by creative director Jiyool Kwon, Thug Club draws inspiration from hip hop culture, motorcycle aesthetics, and the streetwear scene of Itaewon. The collaboration highlights strong silhouettes, silver details, and the signature TC logo.

The result is a blend of military precision and streetwear attitude, a collection that bridges tradition and subculture.

CHARTT WIP WOMEN FW25

The Carhartt WIP Fall/Winter 2025 women’s collection is captured in the city’s cold winter light, highlighting textures, tones, and seasonal details. Outerwear takes center stage, from the soft W’ Olney Michigan Coat inspired by the classic silhouette, to the elongated W’ Webster Coat and the slightly cropped, boxy W’ Oltera Jacket drawing from the B-9 parka. Knitwear, jersey, skirts, and sportswear-inspired pieces update core classics with new fabrics, proportions, and detailing.

Shapes are relaxed and fluid, with loose trousers and long-sleeve rugby polos, while tones evoke steely blues, greys, and navy with worn-in stone washes. The collection is available at Carhartt WIP stores, select global retailers, and online. Photographed by Juana Wein, the images combine intimacy, authenticity, and poetic sensibility.
