At Berlin Fashion Week, COLRS took centre stage with its breathtaking Fall/Winter 2025/26 collection, “Pace of Life.” Photographed backstage by the astute Anna Nowalska-Duda, this collection is a masterful homage to the evocative romance and chaos of the legendary Mille Miglia race. Like the spirited Italian towns that come alive with roaring engines and daring drivers, COLRS encapsulates a thrilling narrative that dances between reckless abandon and refined sophistication.
Inspired by the dreams of young boys yearning to be racecar drivers, designer Punkzec weaves a narrative that pays tribute to the heroic legacy of motorsport luminaries such as Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio. He also nods to the timeless elegance of Italian industrialist Gianni Agnelli, who is celebrated as one of the most stylish men to grace history’s pages. The garments exude a sense of daring spirit intrinsically linked to the world of motorsport while embodying the quintessential sophistication of Italian aristocracy.

An exciting juxtaposition of bold designs awaits the audience, offering everything from sharp, tailored suits to effortlessly cool T-shirts. This collection flaunts a fearless individuality, celebrating the thrill of life lived in the fast lane. COLRS is not just a collection; it’s a vibrant ode to elegance and the exhilarating pace of life.
Founded in 2017 by the Haitian-German designer Zec Elie-Meire, COLRS has been embracing the gentle embrace of summer since its inception. Drawing from a rich cultural background infused with joyful and punk influences, Zec has crafted an unmistakable signature style that combines childlike wonder with a sophisticated edge. His journey began in his childhood room, where simple upcycling projects took flight, ultimately leading him to study men’s tailoring at Esmod in Paris.
Making its runway debut in 2020 in Lagos, Nigeria, COLRS showcased its innovative spirit with a follow-up show in 2021. The brand’s venture into Berlin began during the New Wave showroom at Intervention by Reference Studios in July 2024, which was further solidified by its participation in the Berlin International Sales Showroom in Paris by Reference Studios in September 2024.
All eyes are on COLRS and its captivating narrative brought to life through Anna Nowalska-Duda’s lens, revealing a collection that dares to race against the ordinary.
