AW24 SHOW "PFOTEN WEG!"

Fashion is fantasy, a space where queer expression can thrive. Simultaneously, however, dressing up can expose us to an onslaught of negative attention and verbal or even physical aggression, particularly on the streets and public transportation. For many women and queer people, we question whether we look too sexy, too gay, too flamboyant, whether we're taking up too much space.

For AW24, Namilia investigates the effects of these acts of aggression against queer and femme bodies. The collection, named "Pfoten Weg!", plays with dressing up while also trying to hide. Drawing inspiration from mediaeval armour, hunting gear, and white trash glamour, "Pfoten Weg!" reveals this distinctive pursuit of living out our fantasies while staying safe.

Fashion is both a space of provocation and preservation. Throughout the presentation, the Namilia character emerges as a symbol of empowerment—unbothered, unfazed, well-moisturized, and uninterested in engaging with bigots.

Keep serving looks and take no bullshit.
