Berlin Fashion Week saw the return of Milk of Lime, fresh off their Berlin Contemporary win, with their Spring/Summer 2026 collection, CHIME. The Belgo-German duo, Julia Ballardt and Nico Verhaegen, created a lineup that felt alive and softly dark, mixing folklore, nature, and the quiet drama of growing up in the countryside.

The heart of CHIME is the countryside punk spirit, a reflection of where Milk of Lime works: a quiet corner of rural Germany. Far from big cities, the designers draw from their surroundings, focusing on handmade details, natural materials, and working closely with local makers.
