Berlin Fashion Week dazzled us once again, showcasing an unforgettable collection by the visionary designer Marlon Ferry. This Spring 2025 Couture collection, a true testament to human resilience and transformation, captivated our editorial heart and left us in awe.
Captured beautifully by photographer Indigo Lewisohn, who took us backstage for an exclusive glimpse into the creative process, the collection unfolded as a striking exploration of trauma and hope. Each piece served as a powerful narrative woven from the dualities of decay and rebirth, inviting us to witness the enduring strength of the human spirit.

The collection’s palette is a deliberate play on emotions, with stark blacks and whites symbolizing loss and hope, tender nude tones emphasizing vulnerability and connection, and deep reds that evoke the visceral scars of violence. Marlon brilliantly blends innovative materials—think latex and intricate 3D elements—with classic fabrics like silk and chiffon, creating a dialogue that blurs the line between fragility and bold innovation. Transformative silhouettes push against the conventions of fashion, merging sculptural art forms with haute couture elegance.
What makes this collection particularly compelling is its intimate connection to history. With pieces handcrafted in the Marlon Ferry Atelier, the collection showcases not just technical prowess but also deeply personal stories. Highlighted looks include Look 1, emotionally charged by narratives shared by the designer’s grandmother, presented by her granddaughter, and Look 10, a stunning showcase of advanced 3D-printed artistry.
The runway show, held in the storied Bunker West—a WWII-era structure symbolizing transformation—created an immersive atmosphere that resonated with the collection’s themes. A haunting yet hopeful musical score accompanied the models, enhancing the evocative journey that Marlon Ferry has carefully curated.
As we reflect on Marlon Ferry’s Spring 2025 Couture collection, we find it not merely a presentation of fashion but a bold statement on unity and the power of renewal. We at KALTBLUT are thrilled to have witnessed such artistry unfold on the runway, reminding us that even in fractured times, beauty can emerge as an act of resistance and a call for healing.
