Still, most of Berlin Fashion Week’s bread and butter remains laid in its continuous rising of fresh new talent, with fast growth and diversification. Take a closer look at some of the emerging stars that came out of the event: StudioHeast: This Berlin-based collective of fresh graduates from the famed Universität der Künste Berlin delivered a very conceptual collection with overtures of social commentary and deconstruction. Their catwalk show, held in a disused industrial space in Friedrichshain, could be read as performance art rather than a simple runway presentation. VMR Berlin: A brand from two childhood friends, Vanessa Maria Roiger and Maja Lena Schmitz—blurred the line between streetwear and high fashion. Their show, which was held in one of the more fashionable bars of Prenzlauer Berg, pitted worn, gigantic hoodies and sweatpants against elegant silk slip dresses and tailored blazers. NOD: This independent label, the enigmatic designer behind whom goes only by the name “N,” presented a strong collection driven by minimalist sensibilities with great strength shown for monochromatic hues. Functionality came to the fore in clean-line garments in a show held in a minimum-art gallery space in Mitte.  These are just a few examples of the exciting new talents that captivated audiences at Berlin Fashion Week. Their unique perspectives and innovative approaches to design contribute to the richness and diversity of the Berlin fashion. A Lasting Legacy Berlin Fashion Week 2024—energetic, sustainable, and full of support for emerging talent—is written in the annals of fashion history.
