At KALTBLUT, we are constantly looking for labels that challenge the status quo, and Plaid-à-Porter does exactly that. We absolutely loved their new SS27 collection, which we had the pleasure of experiencing last week during Berlin Fashion Week. The Berlin-based label is doing something truly special by transforming heritage textiles into one-of-a-kind wearable art, proving that sustainability and high design can coexist beautifully.

Plaid-à-Porter works with carefully curated antique and vintage treasures; think handmade crochet, forgotten plaids, intricate embroideries, and rich gobelins. Each piece carries stories from the past, which are seamlessly woven into contemporary silhouettes. What makes their approach so unique is a reversed design process: instead of forcing a concept onto a fabric, the material itself dictates the silhouette. This allows each textile’s specific history, texture, and character to shine through in unexpected, entirely wearable forms.
By giving new life to existing materials through distinct textile drops and bespoke creations in their Berlin Atelier Store, Plaid-à-Porter offers a powerful antidote to fast fashion, inspiring a much-needed shift toward mindful consumption. Every single garment feels less like a trend and more like a lasting investment in historical craftsmanship, individuality, and circular fashion—made to be worn, remembered, and passed down through generations.
Capturing the intimate, tactile magic of the new collection, photographer Shin Jeong Hoon was backstage to document the presentation. His backstage photos beautifully highlight the raw textures, intricate details, and the incredible level of craftsmanship that make Plaid-à-Porter one of our absolute highlights from the Berlin Fashion Week schedule.
