Richert Beil

ABOUT THE SHOW

After celebrating the 10th anniversary of their label Richert Beil with cake on the runway during Berlin Fashion Week in February, Berlin Contemporary winners Jale Richert and Michele Beil presented a "Bademodenschau" (“swimwear show”) with swim floats this season, staying true to their mission of bringing more inclusivity to the fashion world.

“Our runway show 'Bademodenschau' showcases a collection that challenges traditional notions of summer fashion by celebrating inclusivity and comfort for every body," said the designers. "Inspired by the diverse experiences and preferences of individuals who don't feel comfortable in typical summer attire, this show aims to redefine the concept of summer fashion by showcasing a reinterpretation of the typical beach look."

Their inspiration is reflected in the range of designs, from airy silhouettes like water-repellent checkered ensembles and dresses with the inscription "Moin Moin," which convey a sense of freedom, to tailored pieces such as a long black neoprene coat and crop tops with air cushions that symbolize comfort and protection.

Jale Richert and Michele Beil draw inspiration from the simplicity and authenticity of everyday life, translating these elements into their designs. By incorporating familiar experiences and situations into their collections, they infuse their garments with a sense of relatability and resonance. This approach enables them to create captivating storytelling within their garments, inviting wearers to connect with the narratives behind the looks.
