Berlin Fashion Week

Berlin stands for progressive (sub)cultural movements and trends that unite fashion, art, design as well as the club and music scene like no other metropolis. Berlin Fashion Week reflects these cross-connections and focuses on relevant topics such as sustainability, inclusion, innovation and talent promotion.

Founded in 2007, Berlin Fashion Week takes place twice a year and has established itself as a strong economic driver and constant source of inspiration. Each season, the BFW calendar represents the bold narrative of Berlin fashion and attracts an international, renowned audience consisting of press, buyers, industry experts and creatives with a mix of runway shows, presentations and interactive side events.

Berlin Fashion Week offers designers and organisers a platform and is characterised by the diversity and individuality of its independent supporters. Since its foundation, the Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises has been actively involved and supports a variety of different formats of Berlin Fashion Week. Special attention is paid to the promotion of up-and-coming talent.

"The up-and-coming talents at Berlin Fashion Week embody an impressive level of innovation paired with outstanding craftsmanship. The fashion industry is an important factor for Berlin's creative spirit and economic strength. Designers find a dynamic and internationally recognised creative location here. We support their artistic development and offer them a stage so that their businesses can flourish and establish themselves in the long term. These young visionaries help to consolidate Berlin as a powerhouse of talent that stands for sustainable fashion in particular. Sustainability is our trademark. Here in Berlin, a bold fashion future is being created that has global appeal."

- State Secretary Michael Biel, Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises.
