FASHION AT THE MUSEUM: DER BERLINER SALON AT THE GEMÄLDEGALERIE

FASHION AT THE MUSEUM: DER BERLINER SALON AT THE GEMÄLDEGALERIE

Fashion Week Berlin is a bit of a mystery. It seems as though we’ve lost track of when, where, and how it’s actually happening. But now you can relax — because you have 20 full days to catch this one event! Berliner Salon, a platform for emerging designers, is celebrating its 10th anniversary at the Gemäldegalerie. From 04.–24.02.2025, the work of 55 design talents will be on display — set among the old masters, under the watchful eyes of portraits painted by Cranach, Titian, van Dyck and the like. It’s a moment to look backward and forward at once: how did people dress then and how might they do tomorrow? The Berliner Salon is curated by former Vogue editor-in-chief and Fashion Council Germany member Christiane Arp, in collaboration with the Gemäldegalerie team. I’m curious to see it, especially since I haven’t heard of most of the exhibiting designers before. Alongside a few familiar names — like hat designer Fiona Bennett and jewelry label Studio Ena — there will also be new names and experimental pieces. On my watch list: UdK graduate Yannick Pretzlaff, knitwear designer Katharina DubbickElodie CarstensenJing-Jie Huang, jewelry label YCCIJ, and designer Nethanel Kantor. There are sure to be plenty of new threads (quite literally) that might become new fashion favorites.
