GmbH
We couldn't discuss Berlin style without highlighting clothes to wear clubbing, and GmbH is a fashion collective that came together through the city's techno scene. Founded in 2016 by Serhat Isk and Benjamin Alexander Huseby, the LVMH Prize-nominated brand uses deadstock materials to create fitted tops, oversized sweatshirts, unique denim pieces and contemporary suiting. @Gmbh_Official

Marina Hoermanseder
Berlin-based designer Marina utilises her signature buckles in all shapes and sizes throughout her eponymous womenswear label. The antithesis of function-over-form style, her pieces are irreverent, often brightly coloured and form-fitting, designed for those who love to stand out. @MarinaHoermanseder
