Words by Victoria Nussbaum Fräulein Talents: Lina Nix Lina Nix is among Berlin’s most compelling emerging fashion designers. Her AW25 debut collection, WHO WEARS THE PANTS, explored the power structures traditionally embedded in menswear by isolating and radically enlarging details commonly perceived as minor - such as buttons - and repositioning them on the female body. The collection marked her breakthrough, gaining strong resonance with stylists and fashion media. We spoke with Lina about her new SS26 collection TUBEWEAR, the realities of creating a collection independently, and the ways in which her surroundings continue to shape her work.
