From July 1st to 4th, Berlin Fashion Week continues its commitment to promoting exceptional talent, sustainability and creativity.

With its progressive positioning, high-profile brands, and the high quality of its collections , Berlin Fashion Week has been increasingly establishing itself internationally as a significant event on the fashion calendar for several seasons. As an event whose unique character lies in fusing subcultural movements, art, design, and music with fashion, Berlin Fashion Week clearly reflects the organizers' commitment to creative freedom and diversity.

The Responsible Movement of Freedom, Inclusion and Creativity

Franziska Giffey, Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises: "Berlin Fashion Week is far more than a showcase for new trends – it's a platform for diversity and promotes community building, innovation, and integration. The commitment to sustainability, the outstanding quality of the collections, and a unique brand mix make Berlin Fashion Week another important industry event this summer, embodying the values of freedom and tolerance like few others. I would particularly like to emphasize the continued support for Ukrainian designers, who find a stage and a springboard to economic independence here. This support reaffirms our ongoing solidarity and our approach to promoting creatives from diverse cultural backgrounds."

Christiane Arp, Chairwoman of the Fashion Council Germany and jury member of Berlin Contemporary: “In the fourth season of Berlin Contemporary, we are observing a steady increase in the quality of applications. We see our role not only in supporting but also in challenging young talents to continuously develop and improve. The growing attention given to Berlin Fashion Week, both nationally and internationally, confirms our approach. Our goal is for BFW to be perceived as a central platform for emerging talent.”
