i went in for a collection preview at haderlump, honestly one of the strongest up-and-coming names on the berlin schedule and consistently one of the most attended shows every season.

proof that haderlump is having a real moment right now is the decision to open a physical store, at a time when even some of berlin’s oldest and coolest fashion spaces are struggling or closing altogether.

I visited the new space and previewed their winter 2026 collection called VARIUS, inspired by marlene dietrich.
the collection leans heavily into historical references with lace and draping and a softer approach, it makes a clear shift away from the brutalist berlin coded vibe that has been haderlump’s hallmark for since its beginnings.

WELCOME TO THE FIRST EPISODE OF SEASON 2: we are exploring a parallelism that might be in my head only but I wanted to check if someone else sees this - it's a social experiment.

DID DEMNA GET INSPIRED BY THE REAL TRUE CRIME STORY OF GUCCI'S DYNASTY for his LA FAMIGLIA ss26 collection?

YOU ANSWER NOW, I've said enough.

in this episode im taking dario vitale's exit at versace as an excuse to do a little bit of a brainstorming around the history of the prada group.

i keep saying this but the speculations behind this move are way too good, and honestly the more i look at it the less random it feels ngl.we start in 1913 with the fratelli prada in the galleria, move through miuccia + bertelli turning a luggage shop into a cultural machine, then zoom in on the empire-building years:
when prada bought jil sander and helmut lang and almost broke itself in the process.
from there, we look at dario vitale’s 14 years inside miu miu, his impact on the brand’s image and insane growth, and finally land on my three conspiracy theories about why he was let go from versace right after prada bought the house.
DO NOT FORGET the next episode it's gonna be our yearly giveaway
