craft within the city’s successful fashion
brands. Having founded her label in

MADS DINESEN
This Danish-born designer developed
his signature style during his studies
in fashion at Berlin’s University of the
Arts under Valeska Thomsen-Schmidt
and Stephan Schneider. His graduate
presentation in 2011 – a range of
intricate black and white designs – was
especially eye-catching. Since then, Mads
Dinesen has consistently forged his own
path between fashion, photography and
art in Berlin.

Malaika Raiss
Designer
“I started my label here
because Berlin is Germany’s
center for creativity, a
melting pot of art, fashion,
music etc . You are given an
incredible amount of input.
Apart from that, I wanted
to continue the legacy of all
the Berlin designers I worked
for – who turned Berlin into
what it is today – and make
my own contribution.”
