ZERO POINT at Raum.Berlin

Esther Perbandt for Berlin Fashion Week 2026

Energy Emerges from Silence

Berlin on a grey, rainy day. I sat for hours in front of the floating black spheres of the installation "Dark Matter," losing myself in their hypnotic movement. In this absolute stillness, the game began in my head: "What if?"

From this, ZERO POINT was born. To me, it represents the state of minimal yet infinite energy – the invisible foundation for everything to come. The circle became the central symbol of this collection: without beginning, without end, universal and complete.

In 17 all-black looks, the interplay of light and shadow was brought to its essence. Circles overlap in the fabric, are hinted at through slits, or are felted in three dimensions. Inspired by Japanese streetwear and the depth of black space, another collection has emerged that dissolves gender boundaries and merges sculpture with wearability.

As the models stood in a sea of black spheres, guests drew their own circles on the walls, transforming the space into an interactive work of art over the course of three hours.

Part of the new collection is the "ALLES VON HIER" (All From Here) jacket: every single material – from the fabric to the sewing thread – originates from Germany, and the jacket is manufactured right here in Berlin. My commitment to craftsmanship and supply chain transparency.
