In January 2021 Fashion Open Studio launched our first collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, in partnership with the Fashion Revolution German Office, with a schedule of mentoring, open studios and showcase events. The programme helped relaunch and position Berlin as an innovative hub for sustainability and emerging talents, “so to give a stage to all those who put people and the planet before profit or at least bring both into harmony” (Harpers Bazar DE). The programme was successful and we were invited back to design and run a similar set of events and activities in September 2021.
