Fashion Activations at Overheated 2025
Berlin – 9th May, 2025 Where Fashion, Sustainability, and Creativity Collide
Overheated 2025 transforms fashion into a collaborative, hands-on experience that champions sustainability, self-expression, and climate awareness. Throughout the day, guests are invited to personalize their clothing, connect with local creatives, and explore new ways of engaging with what they wear.
Attendees could start by getting ‘OVERHEATED BERLIN 2025’ printed on their own T-shirt or choose from a curated selection of donated tees — with thanks to Armed Angels.
Then, taking their garment to the BLACK PEARL Stitch Society station, presented in partnership with PLATTE.Berlin. Here, they could work with featured artists Dennis Chuene, Kareem Youngblood, and THERAPY Recycle & Exorcise to give their clothing a second life, whilst choosing from deadstock fabric patches donated by Haderlump, or by collaborating with a designer for a unique, personal touch including:
