Richert Beil SS26: Bauhaus Romance In A Former Pharmacy
Oversized blazers, handmade lace, queer reimaginations
At their SS26 show Milieuschutz, Richert Beil took us straight to the heart of Kreuzberg—literally. Staged inside their newly renovated 135-year-old pharmacy-turned-studio, the collection was a poetic reflection on place, memory, and change. Think Berlin gentrification feels, but make it fashion.
The vibe? Clean lines with soul. Florals bloomed quietly on oversized blazers, handmade lace peeked out from under sheer silk shirts, and traditional folk elements were queered and reimagined—hello, latex leather pants. The contrast between past and future pulsed through every look, marrying nostalgic craft with modern tension.
It was part tailoring, part tenderness, and 100% Richert Beil. You could feel the push and pull: what to preserve, what to let go, and how to carry the stories that made us. Not just a runway, but a renovation of identity.
With Milieuschutz, the duo reminded us that fashion isn’t just about new clothes—it’s about building new worlds on old foundations.
