Getting dressed, heading out, crossing paths: Berlin’s SS26 Fashion Week (30.06–03.07.2025) is kicking off, along with a range of public events open to all. Starting Monday (30.06.), the Berliner Salon opens at the Museum of Photography in Charlottenburg. As a long-standing part of Berlin Fashion Week, the group exhibition places fashion and design in dialogue with art and cultural history. Between Helmut Newton’s fashion icons and the collections of the Art Library, contemporary German fashion gathers under one roof. The exhibition opens to the public on 01.07. Less retrospective but all the more forward-thinking is what’s happening at Platte Berlin. On Monday evening (30.06.), the fifth edition of the Next Gen Pop-up showcases emerging designers who explore narratives around sustainability, identity, and digital innovation.
On Tuesday (01.07.), the 032c Workshop on Kantstraße opens the doors to a silver-toned space for sound and transformation. In collaboration with Electronic Beats, 032c presents an installation by Harry Nuriev. Titled “All is Sound. All is Transformation”, the project connects CD culture, club history, and collective listening. The sculptural structure echoes a 1990s record store and invites visitors to bring their CDs, creating a shared archive of sound. From 01–04.07.2025, Dawn Denim and Circular Berlin launch Dawnhaus, a pop-up celebrating sustainable denim culture. With free jean repair services and workshops, the project shows what circular fashion can look like in practice. It’s part of the EU Horizon Program “Solstice”, which is turning Berlin into a pilot city for a denim repair bonus. Repair instead of replace. Wrapping things up is a one-day pop-up on 02.07. at Nella Beljan Satellite II Gallery on Karl-Marx-Allee. Bulgarian designer Vladimir Karaleev returns to Fashion Week to present his capsule collection Dis/Play. The collection is both an installation and a reflection on 15 years of creative work, with a focus on craftsmanship, sustainability, and modern everyday wear. Four days of fashion, culture, and conversation — to see, learn, ask questions, and spark new ideas.
