Ljubljana Fashion Week (LJFW) & 10 Slovenian Designers Take Over Berlin Fashion Week with Floating Showcase

Ljubljana Fashion Week: ON BOARD Berlin brings together emerging and established names in fashion, celebrating innovative design, craftsmanship, and creative dialogue between Ljubljana and Berlin. The showcase highlights a diverse generation of designers working across fashion, knitwear, footwear, textile experimentation, sustainable production, and conceptual design. The participating brands each offer distinct artistic perspectives — from ethical and zero-waste practices to performative silhouettes, workwear reinterpretations, and technologically driven textile research.

The evening will also offer an informal setting for creative exchange between designers, industry professionals, media, and visitors. The show is part of Berlin Fashion Week. Find more information here.

About the event

Ljubljana Fashion Week: ON BOARD Berlin is conceived as an immersive fashion installation aboard the MS Heimatland ship, transforming the vessel into a temporary exhibition and presentation space for contemporary Slovenian fashion. Rather than a traditional runway show, the event combines a curated designer showcase with a series of recurring live fashion interventions throughout the evening.

The central exhibition area will feature garments from all participating designers displayed on illuminated freestanding clothing structures, allowing visitors to explore the collections at their own pace. The presentation emphasizes materiality, craftsmanship, and close interaction with the pieces, creating a gallery-like experience rather than a conventional retail or trade-show environment.

At several moments during the event, models will activate the exhibition through short choreographed walkthroughs, wearing selected looks from the featured collections. These informal presentations will move through the entire venue and among the visitors, bringing the garments into motion and creating repeated moments of focus without interrupting the social flow of the evening.

The participating designers will be present throughout the event, offering visitors, media representatives, buyers, and industry professionals the opportunity to meet them personally, learn more about their creative processes, and engage in direct conversation about their work. Selected garments and accessories will also be available for closer inspection, fitting, and try-on, encouraging a more personal and tactile connection with the collections.

By combining exhibition, performance, and networking, Ljubljana Fashion Week: ON BOARD Berlin creates an informal yet carefully curated environment that highlights the diversity and innovation of the Slovenian fashion scene. The event aims to foster creative exchange and strengthen connections between the fashion communities of Ljubljana and Berlin while providing an accessible platform for discovering contemporary Slovenian design.

Lan Krebs creates magic out of the mundane, crafting ethereal, seamless silhouettes from one of the most utilitarian fabrics — jersey. Luminous tubular knits cocoon the body in diaphanous layers that reinterpret and reimagine the fabric’s structure. His practice has always centered on exploration within a landscape that can often feel restrictive. By pushing beyond functionality into forms that both play and resist, Krebs’ work occupies a unique position within the contemporary fashion industry through its instinctive fluidity.

Volja’s collections of shirts, jackets, trousers, and accessories are rooted in the heritage of workwear, yet developed through a contemporary design approach that emphasizes functionality, material quality, and long-term use.
