Seen by Fräulein #25

Too many headlines, too little time. That’s why "Seen by Fräulein" is our weekly edit of everything the Fräulein team has been talking about, obsessing over, or saving for later.

Grisebach Presents Photographs from Angelica Blechschmidt’s Private Archive

 

Auction house Grisebach presents Angelica Blechschmidt – In The Archives, the first exhibition dedicated to selected photographs from the private archive of the former German Vogue editor-in-chief.

 

Taken with a small analogue Olympus camera, the images document Blechschmidt’s life between fashion shows, backstage moments, editorial work and parties throughout the 1990s. Rather than focusing on her role at Vogue, the exhibition highlights her personal perspective and instinct for capturing fleeting scenes and the people around her.

 

On view are runway, backstage and party photographs drawn from an archive of more than 180,000 negatives. Conceived in collaboration with Archive Angelica Blechschmidt, the exhibition runs from 26 June to 16 July 2026 at Grisebach in Berlin. A limited-edition T-shirt featuring a backstage photograph of Esther de Jong from Chanel Couture AW97/98 will also be available.

 

Ottolinger x Magnum

 

Ottolinger and Magnum have collaborated on a limited-edition accessories collection inspired by Magnum’s new La Pistache flavour. The highlight is a reworked version of the Ottolinger Basket Bag, featuring traditional rattan, black sculptural handles and pistachio-coloured details.

 

The collaboration also includes two Switzerland-exclusive Dry Bags. Designed for summer days by the water, the transparent waterproof styles feature glossy handles, a waterproof zip and buckle closure. The Basket Bag is available now via Ottolinger for €235.

 

Katharina Sieverding: Life-Death

 

As part of Berlin Art Week 2026, Galerie Thomas Schulte presents Life-Death, an exhibition dedicated to an early and rarely shown body of work by Katharina Sieverding.

 

At its centre is the artist’s 1969 film of the same name, accompanied by large-format film stills and previously unpublished Polaroids. Created during a period of political and social upheaval in West Berlin, the work explores transformation, identity and performance through a series of staged portraits and shifting roles. The exhibition runs from 12 September to 7 November 2026.

David Koma x Supergirl

 

Coinciding with the release of DC Studios’ upcoming Supergirl film, David Koma launches a capsule collection created in collaboration with Warner Bros. for Pre-Fall 2026.

 

Drawing on the character of Kara Zor-El, the collection combines Koma’s sculptural silhouettes and sharp tailoring with references to the Supergirl universe. Red, blue and metallic accents appear throughout, alongside crystal S-shields, celestial motifs and graphic details inspired by the franchise’s visual history.
