Reference Studios is ready for the fifth edition of "Intervention" The immersive format promoting contemporary and emerging fashion returns to Berlin
Shows, talks, and listening formats unfold inside the former power station, now one of the city’s most iconic and transdisciplinary spaces. The industrial architecture of Kraftwerk becomes the perfect stage to tell the story of a culture in motion, fluid and global, no longer bound by disciplinary borders. This edition welcomes an unprecedented collaboration: Reference Studios together with TED, the global platform dedicated to cultural dialogue. Inside the GLOBUS space at Kraftwerk, intimate conversations in a salon format come to life, marking the first time TED brings fashion and design to the center of its program.
From January 30th to February 2nd, Berlin becomes part of the experience thanks to an experiential pop-up at Potsdamer Straße 100. Curated and presented by LIVE FROM EARTH, the Doofer Street Market takes shape as an expanded cultural space blending exhibition, performance, and moments of connection. An open place where emerging creative scenes intertwine, bringing the energy of INTERVENTION directly into the streets of the city. The heart of the event remains the runway program on February 2nd, unfolding across Kraftwerk’s ground and first floors. On the catwalk are BUZIGAHILL, Kenneth Ize, DAGGER, JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN and GmbH, offering a snapshot of contemporary fashion.
Alongside the runway shows, sound takes center stage. From 12:00 to 20:00, the GLOBUS space hosts a Listening Lounge curated by LIVE FROM EARTH, featuring artists and selectors from the Berlin music scene. A sonic journey that connects global movements, local cultures, and fashion, showing how music and style are increasingly intertwined.
At the core of this project lies a clear vision: bringing different disciplines and cultures closer together and placing them in dialogue for a more fluid and interconnected industry. Part of the official calendar of Berlin Fashion Week and supported by the Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises, INTERVENTION V confirms Berlin as one of the most exciting hubs for contemporary cultural experimentation, and Reference Studios as a leading force in nurturing the city’s new talents.
