Avenir’s Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection, Galleria, presented at Berlin Fashion Week, is a testament to the brand’s commitment to artisan craftsmanship and sustainable innovation.
The collection transforms pre-loved garments into sculptural outerwear and refined tailoring, blurring the lines between fashion and art.
Art as Influence: A Collaboration with Arthur Laidlaw & Kristina Hellhak
Inspired by the duality of observation and display, Galleria takes cues from classical art and contemporary urban visuals. British artist Arthur Laidlaw lends his architectural deconstructions to fabric treatments, while his partner and AVENIR’s long-term PR representative, Kristina Hellhak, infuses the collection with atmospheric realism.
The result? Oversized coats with sculptural folds, silk dresses distorting classic imagery, and raw-edge tailoring softened by fluid silhouettes.
Founded by Sophie Claussen in 2020, Avenir is a Berlin-based brand rooted in circular fashion. With a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, Avenir’s garments honor both their makers and wearers, redefining the value of overlooked materials.
Their Blue Line (made-to-order pieces) embodies the belief that fashion becomes art when technique and detail transcend function into beauty.
A Vision Beyond Fashion
With Galleria, Avenir once again proves that clothing is more than just wearable—it’s a curated experience.
The collection’s fusion of structure and fluidity, past and present, art and utility, cements Avenir as a leader in Berlin’s evolving creative landscape. Where does fashion end and art begin? Avenir makes us question whether there should even be a line at all.
