What is the former name of Berlin Fashion Week?

Berlin Fashion Week was formerly known as Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin.

The Mercedes-Benz name was used for Berlin’s principal fashion-week branding before the event returned to the simpler Berlin Fashion Week title. The German capital’s fashion calendar has changed names and organizers several times as sponsorship and industry structures evolved.

Berlin Fashion Week is known for combining runway presentations with a broader creative scene that includes art, music, design and independent labels. That identity differs from the more commercially established fashion systems of Paris, Milan, London and New York.

The former name is sometimes mixed up with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia or Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. Those were separate events in different cities, despite sharing a sponsor-led naming format.
