END. x C.P. Company celebrate the “Corner Shop”

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, END. teams up with iconic Italian brand C.P. Company for their second collaboration: “Corner Shop”, a four-piece capsule inspired by the charm and color of British corner stores.

The collection reimagines C.P. Company’s iconic silhouettes, including the Goggle Puffer, Bomber Jacket, Technical Vest, and Shoulder Bag,  in a translucent icy blue Kan-D fabric. Developed through a complex flattening process, the material creates a luminous, cellophane-like finish that nods to the sweet aisle’s glossy wrappers.

For the first time, C.P. Company’s Goggle lens is framed in a metallic rainbow iridescent rim, capturing the collaboration’s playful yet technical essence. With transparent layers revealing garment construction, the collection blends innovation, nostalgia, and everyday beauty.

DIESEL COLLABORATES WITH MELISSA FOR FUTURISTIC FOOTWEAR

Melissa, the renowned global footwear brand, joins forces with Diesel to launch an exclusive shoe collection that fuses innovative design with bold aesthetics. 

This cutting-edge collaboration introduces three revolutionary and futuristic silhouettes: the Quantum Thong, Quantum Platform, and Quantum Sneaker X, each reflecting the distinct DNA of both brands. Drawing on parametric design and optical art, the collection reimagines contemporary footwear through a radical lens. The signature Diesel “D” monogram anchors each piece, enhancing the dynamic and architectural feel of the collection, which is also seen in the campaign visuals.

Emphasizing inclusivity, all models are available in extended size ranges for optimal fit and versatility. The Melissa x Diesel collection has been available globally since July 15.

A.A. SPECTRUM SS26 – A RENEWAL

A.A. Spectrum draws inspiration from nature’s quiet renewal, guided by the spirit of ancient Chinese poetry and the emotional depth of 18th-century British Romanticism. Titled “A Renewal”, the collection explores creativity as something effortless, a reflection of life itself.

Blending craftsmanship and cross-cultural heritage, the collection unfolds as a historical reference with modern elements, as a dialogue between Chinese visual traditions and Romantic-era silhouettes. Silhouettes flow between sculptural and body-conscious, driven by material behavior rather than category. A special collaboration with Swiss designer Sarah Bounab reimagines traditional lucky charms into sculptural metal keyrings, just like a modern talismans rich in meaning.

“A Renewal” is a meditation on form, movement, and identity, a celebration of clothing meant to be lived in.

BARENA VENEZIA SS25 – A STUDY IN BALANCE

For Spring/Summer 2025, Barena Venezia presents collections that speak in harmony through a shared language of craftsmanship, tailoring, and a refined simplicity rooted in Venetian tradition.

The Men’s Main Collection evolves Barena’s signature blend of relaxed tailoring and functional elegance. Light, breathable fabrics shape a wardrobe that moves effortlessly between formality and ease. A neutral color palette sets a fresh yet grounded tone for the season. On the women’s side, under the direction of Francesca Zara, the collection explores an austere femininity: Pieces like the silk organza linen-viscose Brezza suit play with masculine elements reimagined through a delicate, confident lens. Other pieces, such as the hero blazers for example, reinterpret timeless tailoring for today’s woman.

With both collections, Barena Venezia reaffirms its identity: a quiet celebration of tradition and modernity, masculine and feminine, elegance and ease, always crafted in the Venetian surroundings since 1993.

DR. MARTENS AND MM6 MAISON MARGIELA RE/UNITE FOR A NEW CAPSULE

Dropping July 17, the second collaboration between British classic Dr. Martens and Parisian disruptor MM6 Maison Margiela reimagines two iconic silhouettes with a subversive, paint-drenched edge.

The capsule features two stark-white hybrids: the 1460/1461 boot-shoe fusion and the 1461/Penton lace-up-loafer crossover. MM6’s conceptual DNA runs through each detail, from the sculptural bump toe and tonal embossed numeric logo to the custom AirWair heel loop. Crafted in Smooth and Virginia leathers with tonal stitching and the signature DMS sole, these styles blur the line between heritage and experimentation.

Echoing MM6’s SS25 runway, the all-white palette nods to artistic distortion and controlled chaos, turning familiar forms into footwear statements. With elements of deconstruction and duality: Shoes within shoes, boots as hybrids. This capsule is equal parts irreverent and iconic.

SAINT LAURENT EYEWEAR – AUTUMN/WINTER 2025

The new Saint Laurent eyewear collection embodies Anthony Vaccarello’s unmistakable vision of modern elegance. Slim silhouettes in rectangular or round shapes, made from fine acetate or filigree metal constructions, make a clear statement: minimalism meets expressiveness.

Iconic designs are reimagined with architectural and vintage-inspired elements, giving the frames a powerful presence. The YSL monogram not only functions as discreet branding, but also as a style-defining feature that gives each model an unmistakable identity.

The collection moves skillfully between classicism and zeitgeist – a play of lines, materials and striking reduction that Saint Laurent continues just as consistently in eyewear as it does in fashion.

 

Prada has officially opened Mi Shang Prada Rong Zhai in Shanghai, its first standalone fine dining space in Asia, in collaboration with acclaimed director Wong Kar Wai. Blending Milanese elegance with Shanghai’s rich cultural legacy, the project reflects a “Tête-bêche symbiosis”, a poetic mirroring of Italian and Chinese aesthetics. Set within the historic Rong Zhai villa, the space unites art, design, gastronomy, and cinematic narrative.

Mi Shang offers a refined menu curated by Michelin-seasoned chef Lorenzo Lunghi, alongside innovative Italian pastries crafted by champion pastry chef Diego Crosara. From The Caffè and The Pastry Shop to The Library and The Terrace, each room offers a layered sensory journey, blending historical memory with contemporary creativity.

More than a dining destination, Mi Shang Prada Rong Zhai positions itself as an urban cultural salon – merging fine cuisine, art, and dialogue between Shanghai and Milan. Public opening: March 31, 2025.

032C STATEMENT KNITS

Knitwear may be a timeless basic, but this season it’s stepping into the spotlight as a bold fashion statement. On the Paris runways, shimmering silver lurex knits with polo collars and oversized wool pullovers featuring alpine daisy patterns are stealing the show. At 032c Ready-To-Wear, the look is styled effortlessly with leather trousers, proving that sweaters can be just as edgy as they are cozy.

Typography and colorful logos also bring new energy to our autumn wardrobes. Case in point: the mirrored 032c logo. Far from a simple design trick, it’s a clever, self-aware nod to the smartphone generation, crafted to read correctly in selfies and mirror photos. Enter the “Selfie Sweater”: made from soft merino wool, it features an embroidered 032c artwork on the chest and classic ribbed cuffs, neckline, and hem.

Available now at 032c.com and zalando.com.

LARDINI: THE GRACE OF ORIGINS, THE TOUCH OF THE FUTURE

With their SS26 collection Nativa, Lardini presents itself rooted in quiet elegance and artisanal heritage. Inspired by the Latin word nativus, which means “born of nature”, the collection reflects a conscious return to origin, where beauty is found not in display, but in detail.

Silhouettes are relaxed yet refined: softly tailored blazers, trench coats, twin-sets, and safari jackets balance structure with fluidity. Materials like wool twill, silk, linen, and cotton are blended with innovative fibers such as modal and seaweed, creating garments that feel as natural as they look, with natural tones from a palette of sage green to sand. Finishes are subtle, luxurious, and sustainable – highlighting the timeless craftsmanship that Lardini is devoted to.

Nativa is not about making a statement. It’s about presence without noise, a whisper of sophistication that lingers like a scent on a scarf.

THE VANMOOF S6: DESIGN THAT MOVES WITH YOU

The new VanMoof S6 arrives with quiet confidence. Following the brand’s collapse in 2023 and its subtle resurrection under McLaren Applied, the S6 isn’t just an update, it’s a reset.

The design stays true to VanMoof’s DNA: a clean, minimal frame with seamlessly integrated tech. Available in Electric Blue, Drift Black, and Pearl Mint, the finishes feel more like atmospheres than statements. Everything is built in, lights, battery, gear system.

This is a bike for those who move through cities that are already oversaturated. It doesn’t compete with the noise; it adapts to the rhythm. With upgrades like a faster Boost button, a waterproof Kick Lock, and Apple Find My integration, the S6 is practical without being performative. Someone who sees mobility not as speed or status, but as a seamless, sensory experience. Not just about where you’re going, but how it feels to get there, on your own terms.

LOOKS GOOD. AGES BETTER – DR. MARTENS ADRIAN TASSEL LOAFER

Tradition, but twisted. Dr. Martens takes its cult-classic Adrian tassel loafer and flips the script – dressing it in high-shine Arcadia leather across four head-turning new colourways: Green, Yellow, Blue, and Silver. This isn’t just a seasonal refresh. The rub-off leather evolves with every step, slowly revealing its contrasting underlayer – transforming each pair into a one-of-one artifact. Archive-rooted, but never static.

The silhouette? Still bold. A wider footbed, exaggerated apron stitching, and those signature hand-threaded tassels. It’s loafer meets attitude – rigid in construction, rebellious in spirit. The Adrian doesn’t follow codes. It rewrites them. Grounded by Dr. Martens’ air-cushioned DMS sole, this isn’t just footwear – it’s a statement piece for those who favour edge over ease, history with bite.

The Adrian was never just a loafer. Now, it’s a manifesto in motion.

CARHARTT CLIPSE ENGINEERED: HIP-HOP DUO AND CARHARTT WIP COLLABORATE ON

EXCLUSIVE CAPSULE COLLECTION

CLIPSE, the legendary Virginia hip-hop duo, reunites for their first joint project since 2009 with Let God Sort Em Out, produced by Pharrell Williams. To mark the release and upcoming tour, they’ve teamed up with Carhartt WIP on a sleek capsule collection launching July 10. Mirroring the duo’s raw, minimal aesthetic, the drop includes reimagined staples like the OG Detroit Jacket in black denim and the heavyweight OG Active Jacket, both detailed with bold album references and graphic accents.

Shot by Daniel Derro Regan in Paris, the campaign ties streetwear authenticity with CLIPSE’s cultural legacy. This collaboration continues Carhartt WIP’s legacy of fusing rugged workwear with subcultural influence, a path the brand has paved since the ’90s through collaborations with icons like A.P.C., Junya Watanabe, and Motown. CLIPSE Engineered by Carhartt WIP merges music, fashion, and storytelling in one powerful statement.

CLARA COLETTE MIRAMON – CARE

Clara Colette Miramon’s show Care opened this year’s Berlin Spring/Summer Fashion Week. The collection explores care work — often carried out quietly, frequently overlooked, yet fundamentally essential.

“I started with the theme of hospitals and nurses from the 1960s. For me, that’s a metaphor for the emotional and physical labor women perform — in relationships, in their families, and to keep society running.”

A recurring motif in the collection is the spine, interpreted in multiple ways. The designer’s love of corsetry is clearly reflected in the use of orthopedic corsets, extensive lacing, and scoliosis braces.

“I find it super interesting to play with body shapes. I don’t think they symbolize oppression anymore. The woman I want to portray is very empowered — and part of that empowerment is being able to shape your body however you want.”

The show took place directly on Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße, right in front of the Volksbühne. Set against an installation of Pilates reformers and hospital beds, and featuring choreography by Franka Marlene Forth, the presentation offered a range of looks — from functional to strikingly poetic.

“The location made it possible to do a public show. Normally, our capacity is much smaller. I just think it’s really nice to be able to do this and help democratize Fashion Week a bit.”

LAURA GERTE – DESIRE/CHAOS

In her latest collection, Laura Gerte delivers a striking exploration of the dualities that define contemporary womanhood: pleasure and rage, decay and beauty, confidence and vulnerability.

“For me, these words perfectly describe what I call the feminine experience — living our lives in a constant state of emotional contrast, often shaped by the world around us. This isn’t a new phenomenon, but one that echoes throughout history.”

Known for her transformative designs that blend sustainability with bold self-expression, Gerte continues her investigation of empowered femininity through tactile contrasts and symbolic detail. Drawing inspiration from vanitas paintings, 17th-century dress, and 1970s punk, her collection is both emotionally resonant and visually daring.

Constructed from upcycled, recycled, and deadstock materials, the silhouettes shift between fluidity and constraint — a future-punk aesthetic grounded in emotional honesty. “While upcycling remains at the heart of my work, this season we explored new sustainable materials to bring the collection to life,” Gerte explains. “We used recycled and partially vegetable-dyed mesh from Italy, which allowed us to create ephemeral draping, alongside rigid toile canvas for an abstract interpretation of corsetry.”

Silk florals appear to bloom and wilt across distressed jerseys and sheer mesh. Corset-inspired canvas pieces are paired with raw edges, thick piping, and smocked silks — forming a visual and emotional metaphor for femininity as both armor and intimacy.

Creation, Gerte admits, is not always easy: “This season was especially challenging and filled with doubt — but that allowed me to unlock a deeper layer in my work. Being able to channel and transform that pain feels incredibly affirming.”

VANESSA BAERNTHOL – VENEER

For Spring/Summer 2026, Vanessa Baernthol unveils VENEER,  a sculptural, site-specific presentation exploring presence, power, and the architectural language of clothing. Held at our home & gallery space Schlachter 151 during Berlin Fashion Week, the immersive performance blurred boundaries between installation and movement, voice and form.

Models stood motionless across the space until a soundscape activated a choreographed rhythm of instinctive gestures. The experience extended to film, capturing the descent of figures down the monumental staircase of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, juxtaposing softness and control within the grandeur of neobaroque architecture. Layers become symbols of strength, folding and unfolding with subtle tension. The palette draws from sage, ash, and obscured blacks. A clear echo to stone, metal, and memory. Key silhouettes included ruched corsets, asymmetrical layering, naturally textured silks, and metal puncture artifacts crafted with Mean Goddess.

Every look whispered quiet authority: sculpted, grounded, yet in motion. With this collection, Baernthol continues to challenge the runway as format, proposing fashion as living structure; and power as presence, not performance.

MILK OF LIME – CHIME 

Milk of Lime returned to Berlin Fashion Week after winning this season’s Berlin Contemporary contest, presenting a poetically dark and romantic SS26 collection titled Chime. In their third runway show, Belgo-German design duo Julia Ballardt and Nico Verhaegen explored dreamlike themes with folkloric undertones — referencing birds, botany, and the quiet transformation of coming of age in rural spaces. Refined tailoring met raw edges, while elongated, floating silhouettes set an ethereal tone.

The brand remains deeply rooted in Germany’s rural southwest — and intentionally so. “Sometimes it’s more inspiring to work with what you have than to have everything at your disposal and end up doing nothing,” the designers say. This deliberate distance from fashion capitals allows Milk of Lime to stay true to its ethos: slow craft, local production, and the sincere use of natural materials.

“Fashion can be such a bubble, so it’s nice when no one cares and you’re just the weirdo in town doing these things,” as Nico Verhaegen puts it.

Throughout the lineup, fine silver bells subtly chimed — appearing as daisy-chain necklaces, field-picked bouquets, embroidered handbags, and cascading knotted tops — giving the collection both a visual and sonic identity. The interplay of sound and silhouette built steadily throughout the show, heightened by ambient background noise and the raw texture of the active construction site where it was staged. The result was a fully immersive experience: tactile, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant.

RICHERT BEIL – MILIEUSCHUTZ

With Milieuschutz, Richert Beil offers a thoughtful meditation on change, memory, and responsibility. Presented in their new Kreuzberg studio — a former 135-year-old pharmacy — the collection balances grounded precision with romantic poetry. Sharp tailoring remains a core element, softened by rose intarsia knits, handmade lace, and lingerie-inspired details. Traditional Tracht elements are reimagined in latex, while uniform silhouettes anchor the collection in cultural continuity.

But Milieuschutz is more than just aesthetics — it’s a manifesto. Borrowing its name from the German term for neighborhood protection laws, it becomes a metaphor for defending values and craftsmanship in an industry driven by speed and content. Richert Beil resists that pace with garments that carry weight, history, and care. In doing so, they remind us that fashion can still be about meaning — about holding space for slowness, process, and the quiet persistence of personal vision.

SIA ARNIKA – SUMMER TIME SADNESS

Sia Arnika’s latest collection, Summer Time Sadness, draws on nostalgic, personal memories of an endless summer feeling. The show is deliberately a little messy, carrying a lingering sense of misfit — but all of it is intentional.

The garments cling to the body like sweat, and the fabrics feel as if they have already lived through a summer. Satin, sheer mesh, soft pleats, and fishnets evoke the nostalgic intensity of long summer nights — moments that always feel especially vivid once they’ve passed. The youthful urge to escape childhood and grow up is reflected in colorful pieces combined with shrunken silhouettes.

All of this is set against a minimal yet harsh backdrop — an asphalt floor in a vast space lit by fluorescent lights. This contrast heightens the feeling of misfit and strangeness, making the clothing all the more desirable.

TIMBERLAND® x BALLETSHOFER – DRESS LIKE YOU MEAN DEPARTURE

At Berlin Tempelhof, BALLETSHOFER’s DRESS LIKE YOU MEAN DEPARTURE reimagined travelwear as a statement of intention. At the heart of the collection was the latest evolution of the brand’s collaboration with Timberland. What began with the tailored 3-Eye Authentic Boat Shoe in 2024 and progressed with last season’s elevated Moc Toe now arrives at its next refined chapter: a handcrafted Boat Shoe Mule in premium black leather, finished with BALLETSHOFER’s signature layered tongue in deep blue.

This shoe was more than a functional accessory — it embodied the collection’s ethos: classic construction, modern spirit, and movement with purpose. The garments mirrored this language. Sharp wool suiting, parachute-volume trench coats, and hybrid tracksuits fused tradition with innovation. BALLETSHOFER and Timberland are not just revisiting icons — they are shaping a vision where craftsmanship meets clarity.

In a culture defined by ease, this was a reminder: move with intention.

MARIE LUEDER – SLⱯY


Marie Lueder presented her S/S 26 collection SLⱯY during Intervention by Reference Studios, merging fashion, theatre, and myth. Inspired by the legend of Saint George and the Dragon, the collection reimagines the tale as a meditation on transformation and vulnerability. The dragon becomes a metaphor for power structures and internal fears, while the hero’s triumph comes not through violence, but through softness and change.

Tailoring is infused with symbolism: twisted jersey shields, talismanic fastenings, scorched textures, and armour-like silhouettes blur the line between protection and expression. Collaborations with Dye House Tintoria Emiliana, artist Eben Weile Kjaer, and movement and sound direction by Oscar Khan deepen the narrative. Custom UGG footwear, styling by Tati Cotliar, and a cast of actors and artists underscore the show’s hybrid, performative nature.

SLⱯY doesn’t offer resolution, but rather reflection — on what we fight, what protects us, and what we must shed in order to evolve.

DAVID KOMA – I LOVE DAVID

David Koma’s I LOVE DAVID is both a declaration and an exploration — a meditation on iconography, introspection, and modern masculinity. Presented during Intervention by Reference Studios, the collection unfolds as a triptych of references: the celebrity magnetism of David Beckham, the sculptural ideal of Michelangelo’s David, and the designer himself.

Low-rise distressed denim and shearling-lined leather outerwear nod to paparazzi-era bravado, while rhinestoned T-shirts riff on tabloid culture with winking self-awareness. Classical silhouettes are reimagined through draped tees and lace aprons, transforming the male body into a baroque canvas.

Koma’s signature tailoring returns, this time embellished with sequins, plexi discs, and hibiscus blooms rendered in couture-grade embroidery. Garters, belts, and brooches blur the line between utility and ornamentation.

One striking detail: flip-flops styled throughout, collapsing the boundary between polish and play, elegance and ease. Now in its third menswear season, the Koma man emerges more nuanced than ever — playful yet poised, tender yet self-assured.

HADERLUMP – EXLIBRIS

With Exlibris, Haderlump transformed the Haus der Visionäre into the opening page of a new narrative — a collection that treats clothing as personal emblems. Instead of chasing fleeting trends, this season focuses on lasting presence.

Sharp-shouldered jackets, laced blouses, and fluid skirts shape silhouettes that balance strength with quiet softness. Coarse linen, aged leather, and muted tones evoke the tactile charm of weathered books, while collaborations with Liebeskind and Caia Cosmetics bring the idea of individual authorship into the present.

Exlibris stands for garments that feel intentional, personal, and built to endure.

GMBH – IMITATION OF LIFE

With Imitation of Life, GmbH unveils its new SS26 collection at Berlin Fashion Week — a deeply personal tribute that pieces together fragments of childhood and family ties. Rather than surrendering to moral collapse or violence, the collection stands as a quiet act of survival — of holding onto tenderness amid the ruins.

Contrasting elements — sharp, uniform cuts paired with flowing, unrestrained silhouettes — blur the line between constraint and softness, creating looks that feel like small declarations of hope in restless times.

It’s a collection that reflects the process of working and living through a period marked by the most abject forms of horror and collapse — and the attempt to emerge on the other side.

SF1OG – SS26

With SS26, SF1OG ventures deep into the hidden corners of romance. On an abandoned construction site in West Berlin, creative director Rosa Dahl staged a collection that drifts between fragile longing and raw unraveling.

The fierce rush of teenage yearning collides with delicate craftsmanship, indie echoes, and subtle nods to the early 2000s. Lace, corsetry, and leather blend into silhouettes that feel both exposed and defiant — a tender rebellion clad in sharp seams and whispered memories.

OTTOLINGER – HEIDI

Heidi is your cooler, older sister. Ottolinger presents its Pre-Resort ’26 collection as part of Reference Studios’ intervention — marking a return to their hometown, Berlin, after several seasons in Paris. This is an ode to the kind of woman who’s lived fully, loved too hard, fallen harder, and learned how to rise without losing her softness. A rule-breaker, so you wouldn’t have to be afraid of breaking the rules yourself. She’s wild, wise, and impossible to pin down. If anyone embodied that energy, it was definitely Kim Petras strutting down the runway as the show’s opener.

Heidi represents what it means to lead with sisterhood. She shows you that strength doesn’t need to shout, that tenderness can be invincible, and that independence is a practice, not a performance. She’ll lend you the good jacket, the insight, the lip gloss — and teach you how to land when you fall.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. Soft and sharp. Gentle and untouchable. This is womanhood.

COLRS – JUMPING FENCES

COLRS returns to Berlin Fashion Week with its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, presented as part of the NEWEST by Nowadays program. The show captures a moment of raw, romantic rebellion — inspired by teenage abandon, the thrill of crossing boundaries, and the feeling of freedom on hot summer days, both literal and emotional.

Hazy nostalgia and vintage Americana infuse the collection with the spirit of a sun-soaked, reckless summer: half-worn bleached denim and sun-faded textures, beat-up Vans, laughter in the heat, military canvas, and silkscreened motifs — all set to the sound of João Gilberto playing softly on a stereo. “You do it because you love it, and if you don’t do it with love then don’t do it at all, because then someone else can do it,” designer Zec Elie Meiré says.

 

GERRIT JACOB – GAME OVER 

Gerrit Jacob’s Collection 07, GAME OVER, confronts the brutal economics of creative survival. The myth of endless inspiration has vanished; what remains is burnout, disillusionment, and a fierce will to keep going. Money — not as power, but as pressure — becomes the collection’s central motif: distorted prints of 500-euro notes, 20-pound bills, and 5-dollar denominations bleed across denim, leather, and jersey. Wealth is no longer an aspiration — it’s exhaustion made visible.

Presented as a film installation in collaboration with director Simon Kounovsky and featuring a haunting voiceover by Coucou Chloe, GAME OVER blurs the line between beauty and breakdown. UV-lit, scattered with fake money and burnt-out avatars, the space becomes a dystopian stage.

In a world where value is fiction, Gerrit Jacob reminds us: creation is resistance.

IOANNES – BETTER GROW THORNS THAN THICKER SKIN

Ioannes’ latest collection, Better Grow Thorns Than Thicker Skin, explores how people often grow numb in times of uncertainty, leading to a loss of sensitivity. Founder and designer Johannes Boehl Cronau advocates for boundaries that remain reactive and alive, rather than shutting down. As he puts it, “The collection is born out of that paradox: how to stay soft and strong at once.”

Presented in the Orangerie of Schloss Charlottenburg, the show was set against a breathtaking backdrop inspired by the moment between dinner and party — half-finished glasses left behind, evoking the feeling that a celebration is just about to begin.

After studying in Paris and London and achieving international success — even winning over global stars — Johannes Boehl Cronau has returned to Berlin, and we’re thrilled to welcome him as part of Berlin Fashion Week.

“For a long time, I felt I had to prove myself abroad — to find the right context for what I do. But Berlin has changed, and so have I. There’s a new openness in the city, a readiness to host fashion in a more experimental and emotionally intelligent way — one that’s accessible to the wider industry, not just the microcosm of fashion students and local enthusiasts.”

NETZWERK – DESIRE PATH

For their debut runway show, the collective netzwerk invited guests from fashion, art, architecture, music, and design on a day trip to San Gimignano Lichtenberg — two brutalist towers by bplus.xyz / Brandlhuber+, flanking a green hill transformed into an otherworldly runway.

Netzwerk champions ethical production and contemporary slowness, offering made-to-order garments crafted from natural materials in collaboration with a regional network of artisans. Designed by Lotti Defant and Paulina Meyle, with support from Fiona Gohrke and Moritz Alte, the collection draws inspiration from archival outdoor gear predating synthetic fabrics, reimagined for modern life through intricate cuts and functional layering.

Sixteen looks moved deliberately across a rugged, parkour-like landscape — a tension-filled set created by Anton Defant and Ansgar Kellner. As dusk fell, the scene was enveloped in a haunting soundscape of storms and classical echoes, composed by Anton & Jakob Defant and Joshua Böke.

This subtle yet radical departure from traditional runway formats signals a compelling new voice in fashion — and we’re eager to see where netzwerk goes next.

The capsule continues GUESS’s tradition of partnering with visionary talent to push the boundaries of style and culture.

G-STAR TAPS KNWLS FOR THE SECOND CHAPTER OF THE DENIM

For the second chapter of THE DENIM series, G-STAR teams up with South London-based label KNWLS to craft a bold, limited-edition silhouette. THE DENIM 002 draws on motorcycle influences with a low-rise, straight-leg cut, detailed with back zips, adjustable waist buckles and an extreme custom wash. Fusing G-STAR’s signature anatomic construction with KNWLS’ raw, sensual design language, the piece is a meeting point of precision and attitude. Known for their corsetry-inspired silhouettes and layered textures, KNWLS infuses THE DENIM with a disruptive edge that challenges traditional codes of femininity. With this collaboration, G-STAR continues to champion creative freedom and rising talent, cementing THE DENIM as a platform for innovation in contemporary denim design.

THE DENIM 002 will be available globally on g-star.com and knwls.com and selected G- STAR stores.

WESTWING x CROSBY STUDIOS 

Westwing joins forces with visionary designer Harry Nuriev for a bold new chapter in contemporary living. The WESTWING x CROSBY STUDIOS Collection merges Westwing’s design-led ethos with Nuriev’s experimental aesthetic, known for its fusion of art, fashion and interiors. From sculptural sofas to checkered textiles and sleek glassware, each piece reflects Nuriev’s signature style – playful, minimal, and deeply expressive. With this exclusive collaboration, Westwing pushes beyond traditional home décor, entering a creative dialogue that speaks to individuality, emotion, and cultural relevance. Set against the backdrop of Paris, the launch includes a showroom and editorial insight into Nuriev’s studio, offering a glimpse into the creative process. More than a collection, it’s a statement about the future of design, where function meets fearless artistry.

END. UP WITH Y3 PARTNERS TO CELEBRATE ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY

Slick, sculptural, and infused with futuristic restraint, the END. x Y-3 ‘Emerald’ capsule lands as a sharply executed homage to two decades of boundary-pushing design. As part of END.’s 20th-anniversary celebration, the exclusive four-piece collection revives the long-standing creative bond between Yohji Yamamoto and adidas, channeling the symbolic power of the emerald gemstone with green details. The standout: a reengineered archival icon, the A3 Control sneaker, returns in platinum silver with a mix of premium leather and cashmere suede.

END. and Y-3 once again prove that innovation can be slick, celebratory, and deeply grounded in fashion history.

BOTTEGA VENETA UNVEILS FALL/WINTER 2025 EYEWEAR COLLECTION — SCULPTURAL ELEGANCE WITH A SUSTAINABLE EDGE

For Fall/Winter 2025, Bottega Veneta presents a new eyewear collection that offers a fresh perspective while staying true to the house’s iconic design language.

Defined by timeless refinement and understated elegance, the collection translates these values into versatile, sculptural silhouettes across both sun and optical styles. Each piece reflects a sophisticated aesthetic rooted in design integrity and subtle innovation. Also introduced for the first time: Re|Ace, a 100% recycled acetate, used into the sunglass offerings.

Season highlights furthermore include the discreet revival of the signature Intrecciato weave, subtly adorning the frames of metal and titanium styles. Another brand hallmark, the sculptural knot, is reimagined as an elegant hinge detail, blending form with function in true Bottega fashion.

MIUMIU UPCYCLED BY CATHERINE MARTIN

With its latest Upcycled collection, Miu Miu continues to redefine what luxury means in a time of ecological urgency. Collaborating with acclaimed designer Catherine Martin, the house presents a series of one-of-a-kind garments sourced from vintage finds and reworked through a lens of refined contradiction: the utilitarian and the delicate, the masculine and the romantic, the everyday and the rare.

Since its launch in 2020, Miu Miu Upcycled has quietly built a blueprint for circular fashion, merging environmental responsibility with creative reinterpretation. This season’s pieces reflect Martin’s instinct for storytelling in fabric, lace skirts paired with crisp denim, slip dresses layered with structured jackets, soft tailoring clashing beautifully with archival prints. These are garments that carry traces of a former life, made new through craftsmanship and intention.

Rather than mimic trends, the collection leans into personality and imperfection, proving that luxury can be intimate, sustainable, and full of history. “Love and attention make something more precious than it was before,” Martin explains, and here, that principle is stitched into every seam.

Available from June 7 exclusively at Miu Miu’s New Bond Street store in London, and globally from June 21.

ACNE STUDIOS LAUNCHES ACNE PAPER PALAIS ROYAL IN PARIS JUST IN TIME FOR FASHION WEEK

Acne Studios announces the opening of Acne Paper Palais Royal, a new cultural space in Paris inspired by the brand’s magazine, Acne Paper. Located under the historic colonnades of the Palais Royal, the gallery will host exhibitions, talks, book signings, and events, that will be spotlighting both established and emerging voices across disciplines.

FLÂNEUR MUSIC’S DEBUT LIVESTREAM SET

Launching this Friday, Flâneur Music – a new electronic music label by Amsterdam-based fashion house FLÂNEUR – unveils a striking livestream set that merges sonic innovation with architectural design. Conceived as a physical expression of the brand’s creative values, the space channels the energy of modern cityscapes and the pulse of electronic music culture.

Floating speakers, raw industrial materials, and a glowing Flâneur Music logo reflect a tech-forward vision, while soft fabrics and a deep-pile rug lend a contrasting warmth. The curved, spaceship-like structure is both futuristic and intimate. At its core: custom VOID Air Motion speakers in FLÂNEUR’s signature green, a nod to both high-performance sound and nostalgic design. The set also stars as the backdrop for the FLÂNEUR SS26 lookbook, further blurring the line between music and fashion.

DODO CHARMING JEWELRY SUPPORTS CASA ARCOBALENO – THE FIRST MILANESE LGBTQ+ SHELTER

DoDo renews its partnership with Spazio Aperto Servizi to support Casa Arcobaleno the first Milanese shelter dedicated to LGBTQ+ youth rejected by their families. Launched in 2023, the initiative reflects DoDo’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility, grounded not in product sales but in meaningful action.

For 2025, the brand will focus on five key areas: refurbishing two original safe houses, funding medical treatments, providing essential seasonal clothing, enabling inclusive recreational activities, and sustaining a fund for ex-guests facing temporary instability.

“Everyone deserves a safe place to be their true self,” says DoDo CEO Sabina Belli. “Our support means more than words-it’s a warm bed, gender-affirming clothing, continued therapy, and space to heal.”

To mark the collaboration, DoDo introduces a special piece: a rainbow cord with a 925 sterling silver charm inscribed with LOVE, celebrating Pride and reinforcing the brand’s commitment to inclusivity and real-world impact.
