In Berlin, GmbH Carve Out a Space for Grief and Grace
Briefly

GmbH's Spring/Summer 2026 show in Berlin featured a moment of silence for the victims in Gaza, emphasizing the impact of violence on their design philosophy. Designers Benjamin Huseby and Serhat Işık have evolved their approach from urgent expressions to introspective narratives shaped by their experiences and diasporic identities. The brand's roots in Berlin's queer nightlife have expanded to embrace a broader community. Their recent designs incorporate nostalgia, offering empathy and reflection during turbulent times, all while continuing to address pressing global issues.
