2. Diversity and Sustainability

The key idea that sets Berlin Fashion Week apart is the diversity and, of course, the themes of sustainability. That is the reason why each upcoming event seeks the participation of clothes that will both be fashionable and environmentally friendly.

This event holds persons such as designers from Berlin Fashion Week social responsible for their productions by promoting and integrating sustainable material acquisition, production standards that are fairly paid by their companies, and eco-friendly processes. Such commitment to sustainable development surely defines Berlin Fashion Week and proclaims its ethos – progressive liberalism.

Fashion shows are undoubtedly the most compelling event in Berlin Fashion Week. A number of famous designers and new comers show their current creations in the fashion show thus giving a glimpse of what awaits fashion enthusiasts in the future.

The Berlin Fashion Week showcases forgiving fashion from experimental designs to the trend-setting garments most likely to appear on urban streets. Both of them are designed as a spectacle, each performance is thought through to the smallest detail so as to appeal to the audience and allow the designer to present his/her vision.

Besides the catwalk shows, Berlin Fashion Week also has fashion fair where people can actually stroll along specifically designed exhibits which may include fashion presentations, new faces, fashion art pieces or even fashion items where people can also get to shop. It always feels like a fantastic chance to come into contact with the fashion industry and be inspired.

Designers, fashion stylists, fashion journalists, and retailers in the industry come together for this event in order to network, exchange information, and possibly do business together.

I believe that fashion students and those who dream to become designers can benefit from attending Berlin Fashion Week. Seminars and presentations include open discussions and different panels where one can gain an idea of what kind of industry they are going to enter.

5. Celebrities /TV personalities & Social Media/Trendsetters

Fashion Week may be all about runway shows, but the streets of Berlin turn into a fashion show catwalk as well. People dress relatively unconventionally, which gives the event a rather colorful and diverse mood. That is a great chance to spot trendy styles and finding inspiration in other fashion lovers.

Furthermore, fashion personalities participate in Berlin Fashion Week. Such people have immense power to influence and they can offer a plethora of information regarding the field. Seeing them around or going to their events is an entertaining affair for anybody who loves fashion.
