Kilian Kerner SS25 at Berlin Fashion Week

Kilian Kerner SS25 / Spring Summer 2025 at Berlin Fashion Week and Kilian Kerner celebrated his 20th anniversary at Berlin Fashion.

Berlin, July 3, 2024 – On Wednesday, Kilian Kerner presented his new collection “Heart in the Head” during Berlin Fashion Week. The fashion show of Kilian Kerner SS25 / Spring Summer 2025 in the Uber Eats Music Hall marked the highlight of his big anniversary: 20 years of Kilian Kerner.

Numerous stars celebrated the special day together with the designer. In the front row sat long-time companions such as Jella Haase and Simone Thomalla, Carolin Niemczyk, Annabelle Mandeng, Mandy Capristo, Rebekka Mir, Tilman Pörzgen, Ulrike Frank and the “GNTM” candidates 2024: Grace, Armin, Fabienne, Linus and more. GNTM winner Lea and GNTM winner Jermaine walked the runway for Kilian Kerner. The designer had booked the two as faces for his 20th anniversary campaign in the current season.

With Kilian Kerner SS25 / Spring Summer 2025 collection “Heart in the Head”, Kilian Kerner is devoting himself to the topic of heartbreak. A pain that is often underestimated. Not taken seriously, but dismissed with clever advice. We all know it. The show began, fittingly, with a comic drawn especially for the fashion show. It tells the story of a couple who split up even though they love each other. They both go through deep pain and find each other again in the end.

“When everything in your body is twisted. When you no longer know which way is up and which way is down. When the pain overwhelms you so much that your heart slips into your head, then something is wrong. A heart has no place in your head.” – Kilian Kerner

Kilian Kerner’s new collection captures the feeling of heartbreak – with styles that are twisted upside down or wrong at first glance. At the same time, it gives hope: In the end, everything will be fine. This is underlined by styles that glitter and move forward. They represent the healing process and express strength and self-confidence, as we have come to expect from Kilian Kerner.

The Kilian Kerner collection for spring summer 2025 includes a total of 54 looks. Elegance meets sporty looks and evening wear meets daywear. Sexiness and lightness contrast with hardness and strength – and create the typical mix for which the designer is known. With denim, sequins, glitter, flowers and blossoms. Quotes from the collections of the past 20 years were partly reinterpreted and translated into the design language of Kilian Kerner Berlin in 2024.

On August 24, 2002, Nena asked Kilian Kerner after one of her concerts if he would like to make some clothes for her. She had seen him in the front row at a concert months earlier wearing a homemade shirt. “Of course Nena, I’ll do that,” said Kilian Kerner. Two years later, he founded his own fashion label. “It all started with Nena, which is why the show opened with a song by Nena. ‘Let me be your pirate’ is one of my absolute favorite songs from childhood and fits perfectly with the feel of the collection,” said Kilian Kerner. In addition to Nena, the soundtrack consisted of songs from Kilian Kerner’s past fashion shows. By Rakede, Ben Ivory and Tunes of Dawn. At the finale, “Amy” by Mads Langer was played for the first time, also one of the designer’s favorite songs. This marks the end of Kilian Kerner’s last 20 years – and the future begins.

For Kilian Kerner SS25 show at Berlin Fashion Week, Kilian Kerner once again worked with many great partners and continued collaborations that have been successful for several seasons.
