MENTAL HEALTH IN FASHION
One person. One voice. – A Photographic Series Amplifying Voices on Mental Health in Fashion

As part of Berlin Fashion Week, a photographic series was created that sheds light on mental health in the context of fashion – featuring people from across & beyond the industry. 35 portraits. 35 voices.

Beginning with Mental Health Awareness Month, we will present one contribution each day – creating space & visibility for a topic that is still too often left unspoken.

Each person shares a statement – about what needs to be said, what is often overlooked, or what is missing. Together, these voices reflect the different perspectives and realities connected to the fashion system.

Starting in Berlin, the series marks the beginning of an ongoing project that will continue to unfold in other cities.

The project is part of the Mental Health in Fashion campaign. Initiated & curated by communications specialist Florian Müller, with a photographic series by artist Claudia Malecka. The portraits were captured in public space, in front of a floating white backdrop. The street became a studio, the everyday turned into a stage. Aesthetic meets honesty: positioned between fashion photography & documentary clarity – allowing the invisible to become visible.

The first Berlin Fashion Week edition of this photo project, part of the “Mental Health in Fashion” campaign, was supported by by Projekt Zukunft – an initiative by the Senate Department for Economics, Energy & Public Enterprises of the State of Berlin, funded by the State of Berlin & the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
