Twice a year, designers, trade visitors, visionaries, influencers and buyers are drawn to the exhibitions, shows and networking events of the Berlin Fashion Week.

In July 2019, very special highlights await, which not only offer the professional public, but all visitors a special fashion experience. These include the main exhibitions Premium Exhibitions, Panorama Berlin, Show&Order, NEONYT, SEEK and Selvedge Run. Exciting shows by aspiring and well-known designers and the events of the Fashion Council Germany will take place again.

We have summarized the highlights for you:

SHOWS:

COMEBACK

After not taking part in winter, Guido Maria Kretschmer and Michael Michalsky are back. Kretschmer’s work will be presented inside the ewerk on the first day of the Berlin Fashion Week. Michalsky will take over the closing of the MBFW with his couture collection “Brothers & Sisters”.

NEWCOMERS

#Damur is not only contemporary because of the hashtag. The designer breaks all stereotypes and designs fashion for everyone. No, not unisex, but trans is his motto. The label will be presented inside the ewerk on Tuesday evening with a lot of self-confidence, youthfulness and charm.

FUNDING: GROWHOUSES

With a new concept, the up-and-coming talents will be presenting themselves for the first time on the forecourt of the ewerk in so called Growhouses, where they will be visible to a wide audience. Among them are Ivanman, Vladimir Karaleev and Isabel Vollrath. A total of 10 designers, sponsored by the Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft Energie und Betriebe/ Projekt Zukunft, will be given the opportunity to present their key looks.

The newcomer Lou de Betoly and NEONYT also received a coveted show slot for Tuesday morning.

SHOWCASES

This season, MBFW’s new inspirational space will feature various talks, as well as a social media night and exhibitions, including the looks of the Dominicana Moda.

WOMENSWEAR

Marina Hoermanseder is one of the prominent names of the Berlin Fashion Week. The designer is known for her fetish-inspired fashion as well as her extravagant shows. The high demand for this show each year is probably the reason why she will present her Spring/Summer 2020 collection in the SEZ (Sports and Recreation Centre), which used to be the GDR prestige object.

EXHIBITIONS:
