Berlin Fashion Week might have been around since 2007, but the internal shake-ups over the past few years have seen its recognition grow on an international scale — and rightly so.
The fashion week operated without a formal fashion council until 2015, when the Fashion Council Germany was formed, and it took over from Mercedes-Benz as the main sponsor in 2022. Now, under the direction of CEO Scott Lipinski, the event has a strong focus on new talent, sustainability and inclusion. Last June, Berlin was the first fashion week to adopt Copenhagen Fashion Week’s Sustainability Requirements — something that London Fashion Week went on to do as of last month.
