Berlin Fashion Week! On July 2, 2026, the incredible collective Berlin Curated returned for its second edition, and I could not be prouder to see this format growing. Taking over the stunning Feuerle Puig House, 13 brilliant emerging designers from all over Germany came together to show us exactly what the future of fashion looks like. Set to a beautiful soundtrack by Klaus Stockhausen, the energy in the room was pure magic. This isn’t just another runway show; it is the official opening of a beautiful, year-long journey dedicated to lifting our youngest, freshest talents.

A Year of True Support and Love for Design
What makes me celebrate Berlin Curated so deeply is that it doesn’t just stop when the music ends. Curated by Christiane Arp, Josepha Rodríguez, and Sonja Hodzode, this program is a real, twelve-month labour of love. It guides these young designers through the toughest part of their careers—the very beginning. After this gorgeous opening runway, the talents will dive into wonderful workshops and exchange formats, all leading up to a dedicated showroom during Berlin Fashion Week in January 2027.
To make things even more exciting, the program is expanding its voice this year with a brand-new publication called KURAT, created alongside Prof. Dr Anke Schlöder and the iconic Joachim Baldauf. There will also be an editorial newsletter dropping three times a year to keep the conversation going between universities, designers, and our fashion community. Plus, they are continuing their beautiful support for AMD Berlin’s student-run Hotline Magazine, which I absolutely love to see.
The Talents We Are Celebrating
Managed by 0049x under the wonderful leadership of Sevil Uguz and funded by the Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises, this initiative has the full backing of the Fashion Council Germany. To bring everyone closer together, the crew is hosting a lovely Networking Brunch on July 4, 2026, at the Hotel Zoo Berlin—a perfect space for media, experts, and designers to simply connect and talk.
But the real stars are the 13 designers who put their hearts on the runway. These are the names you need to remember, and we are so excited to watch them grow over the next year:
