BRANDS
4FRF
The designer Adriana studied Law in Mexico City. In the very early stages of her life she learned the craftsmanship applied to fashion from her mother, who had a bridal fashion business. She remembers designing dresses for the dolls of her friends and selling them at the age of six. Being surrounded by fabrics such as soft silk and cotton made her fall in love with garment creation.
Her profession later brought her to New York City, where she worked as a diplomat. There, in Manhattan, she reconnected with the fashion world. It was not until she arrived in Berlin five years later that she found the inner incentive to start the fashion business she had dreamed of since childhood.
For 4FRF, sustainability means producing and buying garments more consciously. Wearing unique pieces made from natural fibers such as cotton, linen, or silk not only feels better on the skin, but also enhances individuality and encourages a more thoughtful relationship with clothing. Sustainability for the brand also means being part of a growing movement among designers to create a deeper connection between people and the garments they wear.
a.Achat
a.ACHAT is a Berlin-based fashion label that understands itself as a platform, rather than just a clothing brand. It aims to establish an interface between contemporary art, fashion, food, and music.
On the edge of contemporary and avantgarde, the clothing part of a.ACHAT is basedaround simplistic shapes, playful patterns and clashing textures for all sexes. a.ACHAT creates handmade products in small quantities and small irregularities are part of their character. We work with high quality fabrics and materials to complement our designs while keeping an eye on sustainability as much as possible. This creates an individual style that fits perfectly in anyone’s wardrobe.
a.ACHAT’s projects are often based on collaborations with artists, illustrators, and graphic designers.
Atelier J.Santana
"From a very young age, my eye has always been drawn to shapes and geometric lines. When I walk through the city, I naturally observe my surroundings from a more artistic point of view, noticing angles and structures that others might ignore. Architecture has always been part of who I am, not only because of my visual sensitivity, but also because my father is an architect and, when growing up, I was constantly inspired by his sketches, his perspectives and the way he looked at space.
This influence is still present in my work today. My garments reflect my attraction to strong lines, structure, and construction.
Denim allows me to work with a fabric that has strength and rigidity which is a solid base to build on. Patchwork then comes in as a design intervention, transforming the original structure. For me, creating a garment is like designing a building: every line, every cut, and every seam has a clear purpose.
It’s all about constructing something that stands, that speaks, and that moves with power." - Johana Santana
Azul Ballestero
Azul Ballestero is a fashion and textile designer exploring clothing through deconstruction and reconstruction.
Working with existing garments as raw materials, each piece is taken apart, fragmented, and reassembled into new forms. Through this process, the work transforms what once existed, carrying traces of its previous life while evolving into something entirely new.
Positioned at the intersection of fashion and object, the practice uses upcycling as both method and language. It goes beyond sustainability, rethinking value, material, and permanence.
Born in Argentina and shaped by over a decade of experience in design, Azul Ballestero’s approach has been deeply influenced by time spent in Sweden and its strong culture of sustainability.
Now based in Berlin, the designer continues to explore how garments can be dismantled and reconstructed to tell new stories.
BARÇOBATTO
BARÇOBATTO, founded in Berlin anno 2025, is a project between two dear friends, Barçin and Marthe, who share a passion for creativity, craftsmanship and sustainability. Their shared interests are what first brought them together years ago in Berlin, and this remains the basis of their work together. When travelling together in Barçin’s hometown of İzmir, they met an incredible silversmith and jewellery artisan whose work sparked the beginning of their story.
What started as a simple conversation grew into an idea between people that saw an opportunity to bring Turkish craftsmanship to Berlin. Their vision for this brand is to join creative forces with artisans to make unique, well-crafted products with respect for the craft itself and its material components. BARÇOBATTO was created based on a shared passion for artisanal craftsmanship and a desire to celebrate the beauty of handcrafted jewellery.
COUTURE RELOADED
COUTURE RELOADED believes we can give discarded clothes a new life through the art of upcycling. Their upcycling process begins with carefully selecting high-quality discarded garments that still have potential. These clothes are then deconstructed and various components, such as fabrics, buttons and zippers, are carefully recovered for reuse.
FELINE
FELINE explores fashion as a quiet form of performance. Inspired by fine arts, stage aesthetics, and the softness of theatrical rituals, each piece is handcrafted slowly and with intention. Hair, fabric, and forgotten materials are given new purpose, transformed into intimate, imperfect objects, one of a kind, made to be worn, not reproduced.
LA FEMME MIMI

MEMENTO
MEMENTO.STUDIO was officially founded in 2024 by Sarajevo artist Tatjana Beho as the company behind the slow-fashion brand MEMENTO.
Clothing is a canvas for stories that blend fashion and social commentary. The limited, small collections and their key pieces, featuring unique patterns, challenge traditional norms of what constitutes fashion. MEMENTO.STUDIO style is one of feminism and sarcasm, woven into prints and given life when you wear them on the catwalk or throughout the city. MEMENTO. is all about setting trends, not following them.
MARIJA STANOJOVSKA
Marija Stanojovska is an independent fashion designer and a graduate in Fashion Design whose work is defined by
craftsmanship, experimentation, and strong conceptual narratives. Through her distinctive design approach, she
explores the relationship between fashion, identity, and social commentary, creating garments that balance artistic
expression with contemporary design. Dissonance, her first menswear collection, explores the invisible tensions that
exist beneath the surface of society. Inspired by the language of resistance and the search for truth, the collection
transforms conflict, disruption, and unspoken voices into wearable forms. Challenging imposed harmony and
questioning accepted realities, Dissonance reflects a deeper dialogue between the individual and the systems that
shape everyday life. Dissonance is not chaos—it is the honest echo of lives that are not synchronized with the
illusions they are forced to believe in. Every detail, stitch, and structure becomes a symbol of voices that refuse to be
silenced.
SVVVA
SVVVA is a silver jewelry brand born at the intersection of body, territory, and material. More than a design project, it is a visual and sensory language that translates deep emotion, collective memory, and organic forms into pieces with a strong and distinctive identity.
Founded by Sirats Barandiaran, SVVVA emerges from an intimate need for expression: to give form to what is felt before it can be named. The brand creates silver jewelry pieces that channel lived experience, the pulse of the contemporary world, and the untamed beauty of nature. Each creation results from a dialogue between intuition and matter, where the body acts as the first creative territory.
SVVVA understands design as an act of resistance against the ephemeral: a pursuit of the essential, the enduring, and the honest. Each piece of silver jewelry carries a fragment of history—a gesture that unites past and present, nature and body, identity and form. In this way, SVVVA does not simply design jewelry, but builds a universe where design is felt, lived, and remembered.
