DAGGER’S SPRING/ SUMMER COLLECTION

The Berlin-based label that captured everyone’s attention during this season’s Berlin Fashion Week is officially launching its Spring/Summer collection this week. The face of the campaign is the “Fallen Angel”, the iconic figure who sat center-stage with angel wings during the runway show.

The collection is a tribute to designer Luke Rainey’s roots: a Northern Irish skate town where he spent his youth on the skateboard. It serves as a love letter to his original skate crew, the music, and the culture of that era. The raw nostalgia woven into the designs and the label’s storytelling is what makes this brand so authentic and compelling. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this label.

LEILA HEKMAT – “ROSES RISING – THE MOVEMENT” AT GROPIUS BAU

In her new commissioned work, “Roses Rising – The Movement,” artist and director Leila Hekmat explores the “bourgeois desire for resistance” and how individuals react to global crises when faith in progress and reason begins to fade. Premiering on March 6 and 7, 2026, in the Gropius Bau’s Lichthof, Berlin, the performance combines elements of a concert, ballet, and comedy to create a unique space between a bunker, a dream world, and a rehearsal room. Drawing from extensive research into 1970s protest culture, Hekmat uses intricate handmade costumes and sets to illustrate how a dinner party spirals into a surreal “happening.” This production is the first part of a collaboration with HAU Hebbel am Ufer, followed by the premiere of the stage production “The Dinner” at HAU1 on April 15, 2026.

DR MARTENS BOOT DNA IN SUMMER SLIDES

Dr. Martens is expanding its seasonal lineup with the Zebzag collection, a series of utility-driven silhouettes that blend a rugged, urban character with everyday functionality. These styles represent a continuation of the brand’s legacy, which began in the 1990s, of translating their iconic boot DNA into durable, open-air summer footwear.

The collection features the Zebzag Dunnet Slide, which breathes new life into a floral motif from the DM’s archives by presenting it as an asymmetrical cut-out on heavy-duty Crazy Horse leather. This design is accented with subtle ecru stitching for a vintage touch, while the signature yellow welt stitch provides that unmistakable Dr. Martens contrast.

Alongside the slide, the Zebzag Sandal offers a fresh take on utility, utilizing exceptionally soft EH Suede in shades like Black, Cornflower Blue, and Savannah Tan. With silver-toned buckles and clean, deliberate lines, the proportions and straps are specifically engineered for maximum comfort without compromising the brand’s bold aesthetic. Both models are built upon a specialized sole designed for urban life: lightweight and cushioned for all-day wear, yet featuring deep grooves to ensure stability and grip on any surface.

BELGIAN PRIDE

In 2026, MoMu Antwerp hosts the first major exhibition dedicated to the “Antwerp Six,” the legendary group that revolutionized global fashion following their 1986 debut. Jewelry designers Wouters & Hendrix, who shared that same debut year, have collaborated with the Six for decades, creating unconventional accessories for their iconic runway shows—a tradition they continue today with rising stars like Meryll Rogge.

To honor this heritage, the Wouters & Hendrix boutique is showcasing archival pieces alongside house icons such as the “Grigri” and “Mussel.” As a special tribute, a limited-edition tricolor “Cache-Clés” in the Belgian national colors will be launched exclusively at the MoMu shop on March 28, 2026, celebrating the surrealism and craftsmanship that define Belgian design.

FERRARI – YOUR SECOND SKIN

The Ferrari FW26 collection by Creative Director Rocco Iannone explores “skin” as a symbolic second layer that connects the individual to the world. Celebrating his tenth show, Iannone presents a vertical silhouette that balances nudity and coverage, utilizing materials ranging from delicate cupro to robust leather and padded duchesse silk.

The designs feature a diverse palette of nude tones and tactile details, such as scar-like knit patterns and piercing-fixed accessories, that merge clothing with physicality. Set in an atmosphere where water symbolizes transformation, the collection offers a plural dimension of identity, allowing the wearer to choose from many “skins” to express the Ferrari ethos.
