The 2026 Calendar at a Glance
The official winter 2026 edition of Berlin Fashion Week will take place from January 30 to February 2, 2026, according to the official Berlin Fashion Week schedule on fashionweek.berlin, organised by the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises together with Fashion Council Germany.
Across four days, Berlin will host fashion shows, exhibitions, trade fairs, and creative events in iconic venues such as Kraftwerk Berlin, Kronprinzenpalais, and Atelier Gardens. The week’s programming will continue to emphasize sustainability, gender inclusivity, and digital innovation — making it one of the most progressive fashion events in Europe.

Why These Dates Matter
Berlin Fashion Week has carved out a distinct position between the global fashion capitals. While Paris and Milan focus on luxury heritage, Berlin champions conscious design, experimentation, and accessibility.
For brands and agencies, understanding the late January / early February window is key to:
Synchronizing campaign launches with the broader Autumn/Winter 26/27 fashion week circuit.
Booking event spaces and pop-up locations before the city’s most in-demand venues are fully booked.
Optimizing SEO content around high-intent keywords like “Berlin Fashion Week 2026 dates”, “BFW 2026 schedule”, and “Berlin Fashion Week January 30–February 2, 2026”.
For Brands & Designers
Plan early activations: Secure showrooms and pop-up venues by autumn 2025 to guarantee premium placement close to key runways and trade fairs.
Emphasize storytelling: Berlin rewards authenticity — align your pop-up or installation with narratives around sustainability, local craftsmanship, or cultural experimentation.
Collaborate locally: Work with Berlin-based creatives, stylists, and photographers to anchor your presence in the city’s culture and stand out in a crowded week.
For Media & Creators
Pre-show coverage: Publish editorial previews and line-up rundowns 3–4 weeks before January 30, 2026 to build SEO momentum and capture search demand early.
Live reporting: Pair runway coverage with on-the-ground stories about Berlin’s art, club, and music scenes — a key part of the city’s fashion identity.
Post-show insight: Focus on Berlin’s role in shaping sustainable and inclusive fashion, from circular design practices to diverse casting and gender-fluid collections.
For Travellers & Attendees
Stay in the right neighbourhoods: Book accommodation near Mitte or Kreuzberg — many show venues, showrooms, and networking events cluster in and around these districts.
Use public transport: Rely on Berlin’s U-Bahn, S-Bahn, and trams to move efficiently between venues and side events.
Follow official channels: Stay connected through the official Berlin Fashion Week website, newsletter, and social media channels for daily schedule updates and venue information.
