Rebekka Ruétz – Power meets Color

If anyone brings sustainability to the runway loud and proud, it’s Rebekka Ruétz. Her looks literally scream future – full of colors, cuts, layering and attitude. Location Berlin Mitte, which was impressive – a 30 meter long screen as an intro.

“Stylish, classic, almost Chanel. I’ve loved Rebekka Ruétz for 10 years and what she does is fashion.”

The show was great, the clothes were what you would call stylish.

• Her style: Sustainable, loud, colorful, with attitude
• Rebekka Ruétz Show @ Berlin Fashion Week 2025

My top 6 shows for 2025?

Heroin Kids – Berlin streetwear without filters

Heroin Kids stands for the raw aesthetics of the Berlin street like hardly any other label: dark statements, hard cuts, DIY spirit and anti-aesthetics as a clear stance against slick mainstream fashion. Show right next to the showroom. Small, fine, little seating – but next to DAMUR clearly the show with the most “Berlin”. Explicit, little fabric, lots of wow. Kinky, SM, pure Berlin. I’ve known both designers for years.

“Kaiser Engel has really established itself and created a truly unique product with Heroin Kids.”

Thank you for the invitation.

• Their style: Berlin streetcore, anti-high fashion, radical & raw
• Heroin Kids Show @ Berlin Fashion Week 2025

BUZIGAHILL – Uganda on the Berlin asphalt

BUZIGAHILL brings streetwear from Uganda directly to the Berlin catwalk – rough, political, blatantly authentic. A strong mix of protest, identity and a lot of attitude – exactly what Berlin fashion needs.

• Her style: upcycling, African streetwear, culture meets protest
• BUZIGAHILL Show @ Berlin Fashion Week 2025

#DAMUR – Fashion after midnight

Anyone who knows DAMUR knows: club culture meets cutting edge. Berlin labels like this show that fashion is not quiet. The show took place in the legendary KitKatClub Berlin. Anyone wearing more than a bathing suit was practically overdressed.

“Extremely good audience, great location – and then the show by DAMUR. Between booties and soap bubbles.”

We’ve known each other since the show with Riccardo Simonetti on ZDF. That’s why we were all the more pleased. Neon-green hair, soap bubbles, cool vibes.

• His style: techno vibes, neon, Berlin subculture in fashion form
• DAMUR Show @ Berlin Fashion Week 2025

Kilian Kerner – Emotion & Elegance

Kilian Kerner achieves what many try to do: real emotion on the runway. His looks are never superficial – they tell stories. The show took place in the Uber Arena – one of Berlin’s most famous spots, right on the Spree.

“His fashion was as always: Hollywood, red carpet, big emotions.”

If anyone can do it, he can. His topic: the GDR and tens of thousands of missing children – too much for here, hence the focus on fashion.

• His style: Emotional, elegant, narratively staged
• Kilian Kerner Show @ Berlin Fashion Week 2025

Danny Reinke – Couture from Berlin

For me, Danny Reinke is one of the most important designers of the new generation. His shows are not just fashion – they are political, queer, handmade, pure attitude.

“This time we went on ‘The Hunt’ with him – Uber Arena again.”

The intro was already strong: great videos, sound design, hunting as a theme. Then the fashion: pure renaissance, natural materials, wide cuts, quality you can see.

• His style: Queer couture, handmade, strong & sensitive at the same time
• Danny Reinke Show @ Berlin Fashion Week 2025

Anja Gockel – Empowerment, staged live

With Anja Gockel, it’s never just about fashion – it’s always about a feeling. Strong women, strong words, strong cuts. Her Fashion Week show is a manifesto every time. I film along, interview guests and show you everything you would otherwise only see with an invitation.

• Her style: female power, statement pieces, show with a message
• Anja Gockel Show @ Berlin Fashion Week 2025

Marcel Ostertag – It’s always personal

Marcel Ostertag doesn’t make fashion for likes – but for people. Every outfit reflects personality, experience and attitude. Anyone who knows Ostertag knows that there is always a real signature here. The show was to the point – perfectly choreographed, colorful and very feminine.

• His style: Emotional, authentic, urban glamorous
• Marcel Ostertag Show @ Berlin Fashion Week 2025

Tell the Truth – Highlight in the concrete bunker

This will be the showdown: Tell the Truth presents its new collection – in the bunker, rough, loud, clear. In the middle of a Berlin bunker – stuffy, hot, hundreds of guests, 95 percent with Instagram or TikTok – welcome to Tell the Truth. The looks? Loud, raw, yet wearable. One of the shows with the biggest hype of the week.

• Their style: Political, raw, conceptual in a brutalist setting
• Tell the Truth Show @ Berlin Fashion Week 2025
