At Kraftwerk Berlin, GmbH’s AW26 Doppelgänger struck with clarity and rage. Anchored in the grotesque notion of Friedensangst—the fear of peace—the collection channeled political unrest in a precise, emotionally charged wardrobe. Huseby and Işık fused sharp tailoring with the fluidity of club culture: second-skin bodies, thigh-high boots, and coats flaring behind the silhouette. References to early-1980s German industrial and synth scenes echoed a Berlin once driven by counterculture and utopian resistance. A restrained palette of blacks, greys, and broken whites was softened by fragile florals, gestures of tenderness amid brutality. More than a show, Doppelgänger felt like a coded warning of fashion as memory, refusal, and belonging in a world engineered to keep burning.
