Berlin Fashion Week isn’t just about the runway – it’s about where you end up after the shows. The Autumn/Winter 2026 edition (Jan 30 – Feb 2, 2026) brings a flurry of afterparties that capture the city’s high-fashion flair and hedonistic nightlife in equal measure. Here’s your cheeky nightlife guide for Fashion Week AW26, highlighting the official fêtes and one off-the-beaten-path party for those who really want to push boundaries. Dress to impress – or in one case, prepare to undress with style.

COLRS Fashion Week Opening Party (Jan 30)

When & Where: Friday, Jan 30 – 10:00 PM, Potsdamer Str. 97 (Tiergarten)

What to Expect: Kicking off fashion week in style, the COLRS Fashion Week Opening Party is the official opener and a glam-meets-underground soirée. Hosted by local creative collective COLRS (in collaboration with art/social club Studio 1111), it’s part exhibition opening, part dance party – a true Berlin hybrid. You’ll find designers, models, and nightlife regulars rubbing shoulders on the dancefloor, sipping champagne one minute and losing it to a DJ set the next. The vibe is stylish and edgy: think avant-garde outfits, bold “looks” everywhere, and music spanning house and techno to get everyone moving.

Berlin Selectors by HADERLUMP ATELIER BERLIN – The Aftershow (Jan 31)

When & Where: Saturday, Jan 31 – 9:00 PM, Haus der Visionäre (Kreuzberg)

What to Expect: After Saturday’s shows, the official Berlin Fashion Week afterparty by HADERLUMP ATELIER BERLIN takes over Haus der Visionäre – a spacious riverside venue next to the Spree. Titled "Berlin Selectors – The Aftershow" this event is where fashion meets rave. Following Haderlump’s runway presentation, they open a next-level immersive party: imagine a massive playground pulsing with artful light installations and cutting-edge sound . The lineup is curated by Haderlump and local collective Veinyl Berlin, uniting some of the city’s boldest underground DJs and collectives for a night of forward-thinking house and techno. 

UNLEASHED by UNDR – Kinky Techno Party (Jan 31)

When & Where: Late Saturday, Jan 31 – 10:00 PM, Insomnia Club (Tempelhof)

What to Expect: Ready to unleash your wild side? For the truly untamed Berlin experience, skip the velvet rope and head to UNLEASHED by UNDR – Kinky Techno Party. This is Berlin’s kink-forward, fashionably naked vibe at its peak. Forget dressing up – at Unleashed it’s "less about dressing up and more about undressing with style" as the motto goes. The dress code? Sexy techno, kinky, and fetish – latex, leather, harnesses, or daring lingerie are all welcome (and encouraged). On the dancefloor you’ll find techno beats fueling a liberated crowd of clubbers in fetish gear, designers letting loose, and adventurous fashion week attendees looking for the most unforgettable night out. It’s a proud LGBTQIA+ friendly, sex-positive space with a no-camera policy, so what happens on this dancefloor stays there. The contrast couldn’t be sharper: after the polished fashion parties, Unleashed is raw, sweaty, and cathartic – the kind of all-night rave where haute couture gives way to harnesses.This party is the ultimate Berlin Fashion Week after-dark adventure – not officially on the schedule, but absolutely the one everyone will whisper about.
