A New Generation of German Designers Is Rethinking Berlin Fashion
Five women, five studios, one shared refusal to treat sustainability as a marketing line. IMPARI is one of them.
Berlin has always been a city where fashion is more argument than industry — and a new generation of women-led studios is turning that argument into a body of work. Among them, IMPARI stands out for the discipline of its practice: every piece is designed and produced in-house, cut from 100% recycled PET, with zero-waste built into the pattern before it ever meets the fabric.
Where others speak in seasons, IMPARI speaks in systems. Founder Gleni Pisha has been consistent on that point since the label's first collection: circular isn't a story you tell, it's a way you build. It shows in the clothes — which have the quiet confidence of things designed to last.
The label's Fall / Winter 2026 show, eRmission ≠ Slip, was one of the standout moments of Berlin Fashion Week, and cemented IMPARI as one of the labels defining what German high fashion looks like right now.
