At Berlin Fashion Week, Andrej Gronau presented its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Alpine Fiction.

The collection pulled from alpine craft and domestic kitsch, twisting them into something unexpected. High-waisted trousers, utility skirts, and cropped jackets kept silhouettes functional, but details played with memory and humor: gingham blouses under boxy blazers, dirndl skirts with rugby knits, star-stitched boots. Traditional wool sweaters reappeared, embroidered with alpine motifs—like heirlooms remade for today.

Textures clashed deliberately with rough cotton against soft knits, structured tailoring with slouchy knitwear. Loafers, polished and proper, stood beside chunky ballerina boots. Colors shifted between muted earth tones (moss, rust, flax) and sharp contrasts (black, white, electric blue).

Nothing here was pure homage. A vintage-style cardigan became sculptural; a child’s checked shirt, tucked into sharp shorts, turned subversive. Each look held tension between nostalgia and irony, comfort and unease, tradition and disruption.
