HIGHLIGHTS 1/7 BFW SS26
On June 30, 2025, DER BERLINER SALON kicked off the new season with a group exhibition, once again forming an integral part of the official Berlin Fashion Week programme. The exhibition takes place at the Helmut Newton Foundation at the Museum of Photography until July 6. By choosing this location, DER BERLINER SALON is continuing its tradition of presenting German fashion and design in an important cultural setting.
Under the collection title 'desire/chaos', designer Laura Gerte explored the complexity of the female experience. The garments with a transformative character reflected the interplay of strength and fragility: skin-tight mesh fabrics and rigid canvas met flowing silhouettes and draped details. Laura Gerte's design signature - thick piping, smocked silk, patchwork prints and trompe l'oeil - also ran through the collection.
The latest collection by Clara Colette Miramon is entitled "care" and is a reflection on the visibility of care work. The focus is on the physical and psychological demands placed on women in particular in everyday life and within social structures.
The central image is a figure dressed in black, standing amidst the ruins of a building destroyed by a missile - not as a dramatic gesture, but as a silent documentation of the current state of affairs: gloomy, dark, rough and minimalist.
Kitschy Couture brought the first day of the show to a strong close with the 'Heimweh' collection. Designer Abarna Kugathasan presented a powerful homage to her migrant roots by deconstructing traditional vintage saris and combining them with western design codes such as jeans. The result was a new design language that, in combination with German pop classics such as 'Das ist die perfekte Welle' or 'Durch den Monsun', perfectly reflected the tension between origin and new homeland in a humorous way.
