The new self-confidence, visibility, and quality of the event echoed through the thoughtful words of German and international editors. Berlin Fashion Week has steadily carved a niche for itself, showcasing a unique blend of progressive, creative, and open-minded styles that have captured the attention of the global fashion community.


As we approach the upcoming February edition, these press reviews are a clear indication of the event's growing significance. Berlin is ready to enchant the world once again with its fashion week.

Ann-Kathrin Riedel, Harper’s BAZAAR: "The repertoire of Berlin Fashion Week has become more craftsmanship-oriented, niche, and also more original. And finally, it leverages the potential of various locations spread across the entire city."

Miriam Martinez, Neo2.com: „No one can deny that Berlin Fashion Week is the epicenter of fashion – without fear or rules.“

Franka Klaproth & Manuel Almeida Vergara, Berliner Zeitung: "It is good and right that now, at Berlin Fashion Week, what the city of Berlin already stands for on the international stage becomes visible: a progressive attitude, often brash and dark, a look that primarily arises from the codes of the underground."

Cecile Paul, Pynck.com: „The German capital Berlin oozes creativity from every crevice of its ancient cobbled roads. Here the old and the new vie for position. Its ultra-hip eateries and beer gardens, graffiti-ed walls and theatrical ambience are the perfect backdrop for the bi-annual, much-anticipated fashion week that the city gifts the uber-fashion-conscious local crowd. Berlin Fashion Week is synonymous with plugging progressive trends: sustainability, inclusion, fluidity, innovation, creativity and freedom of expression were here for all to witness and enjoy.“

Miriam Nehring, Vogue Germany: "Berlin is above all multifaceted."

Tributetomagazine.com: „Berlin Fashion Week sets the stage for groundbreaking trends that grip the global fashion scene. From eco-conscious collections embracing recycled materials to gender-neutral fashion breaking traditional norms, Berlin Fashion Week celebrates the fusion of fashion and progressive ideals.”

Caroline O. Jebens, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: "It was a smart decision to showcase all the shows at historic venues with columns and parquet flooring – because that's how the city became visible."

Fashionunited.de:"Berlin Fashion Week puts important themes such as sustainability, inclusion, and innovation at the forefront and takes a path that is not only progressive but also revolutionary."

Fashion United, France: “Berlin thrives on style, plurality and contrast. In addition to lots of fashion, the week offered a sightseeing tour of Berlin, which, thanks to a full programme and tour bus, took on the character of a fashionable class trip.”

Theimpression.com:“"Berlin Fashion Week is a multi-sensory experience that allows us to know in detail how the most outstanding creative minds think, immersing ourselves in their perception of design.”
