FCG/VOGUE FASHION FUND

Finalist

LAURA GERTE

LAURA GERTE sculpts radical silhouettes, fusing raw femininity with future punk. The pieces move, they twist, they pulse with tension — playful yet defiant, provocative but soft, fragile and resilient. The items are crafted from reclaimed clothing, reworked into textile hybrids carrying the traces of past lives, each resulting in a transformative garment. Founded in 2023 by designer Laura Gerte, her namesake label is based in Berlin.


Entire garments are re-engineered through experimental construction, fluid draping and multi-wear silhouettes. Pieces are turned inside-out, upside-down and back-to-front to create sculptural forms with signature piping, textured surfaces and movement. Rather than scaling product volume, the label focuses on commissioned looks and artistic brand collaborations, positioning itself as an avant-garde, culturally driven alternative to conventional fashion production.
