“RAUM.Berlin”: The Progressive New Presentation Format During Berlin Fashion Week

Fashion Council Germany and eBay Germany launch an innovative format at BFW

A new space for fashion and its talents: The Fashion Council Germany and eBay Germany are introducing RAUM.Berlin, a presentation format combining traditional runway shows with static exhibitions. It offers participating fashion designers the opportunity to showcase themselves and their creations. From July 1–3, 2025, three designers will present their current collections each day in Berlin-Mitte to a wide audience of industry professionals and fashion fans alike. The open-to-public concept is central to RAUM.Berlin, inviting a wide audience to take part in Berlin Fashion Week. A total of nine labels – both German and international – will take part in the inaugural edition of RAUM.Berlin. 

The final list of participants will be announced in mid-June. The new format primarily targets labels with mature collections and a clear brand identity, showcasing them in a striking and memorable way. Each designer will be given their own floor to design conceptually, allowing them to fully express their brand’s creative vision. This creates an immersive experience and an inspiring space for exchange. Scott Lipinski, CEO of the FCG, emphasises: 

„RAUM.Berlin creates a stage for talents to showcase their visions and creations away from traditional runways. The format fosters new perspectives and highlights the variety and innovation within fashion.” 

Daily from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, the venue is reserved for industry representatives – such as national and international press and industry insiders – offering a space for direct dialogue with designers through interviews or conversations about the concepts behind their collections. Starting at 1:00 PM, the doors open to the general public, giving interested visitors direct access to the work of the labels and a chance to soak up the Berlin Fashion Week atmosphere.

An additional highlight is the curated “eBay Pre-Loved Exhibition”. In collaboration with a stylist, eBay will showcase secondhand looks created from pieces purchased on the platform.

Throughout Berlin Fashion Week, the RAUM.Berlin location will also host the established talk series “METAMORPHOSIS – dialogues about change” – powered by eBay. In the afternoons, the venue will feature panel discussions, interviews, and keynotes with renowned experts from the fashion and creative industries. Find the list of speakers and full line-up here.
