SBLMTN Studio Fashionweek Showcase

SBLMTN Studio is a Berlin-based fashion collective founded by creatives Judith Bondy, Anna Hieronymus, Harriet Davey, and Nina Doll. By blending digital innovation with physical garment production, they aim to inspire a paradigmatic shift in fashion consumption and foster a more sustainable future—standing in contrast to fast fashion.
At Berlin Fashion Week in February, this avant-garde collective showcased why it’s time to rethink the fashion industry, highlighting the potential of digitalization and sustainability.
The showcase revolved around the theme of “beauty in imperfection,” seamlessly blending barren landscapes with lush natural elements in both stage design and digital creations. The collection, dubbed “hybrid,” features physical garments digitally expanded and reinterpreted, presented on a “metahuman” avatar displayed on LED screens.
