Berlin Curated is a new nationwide platform that promotes emerging talent in fashion by offering selected students and alumni from across Germany a professional stage during Berlin Fashion Week.
Curated by Christiane Arp along with Sonja Hodzode & Josepha Rodriguez.
"I have been actively committed to supporting young fashion design talent in and from Germany for many years. Over time, it became increasingly clear that this support needs to start much earlier. Berlin Curated gives us the opportunity to discover and support young talents while they are still studying."
"During the scouting process for Berlin Curated, we saw many creative works – it was very impressive. In our curation, it was not about which university the students came from, but solely about their talent."
"Berlin Fashion Week is the stage for emerging talents. Many young designers in and from Germany have never received the necessary support. Thanks to the Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy, and Public Enterprises, we can now realize this support long-term with Berlin Curated."
