PLATTE is Berlin‘s first space for Fashion - Empowerment. As an inclusive community growing with every empowering activity, PLATTE wants to give fashion interested people and the creative industry a space and a partner to grow with it. For us, the fashion industry can be trendy, fast forward but can also be seen politically. PLATTE wants to work as an enabler and accelerator and link to Berliners and tourists. With our public store and event area, our photo studio and our office rooms, we offer Berlin’s first space for exchanges about fashion, creative and community topics focussed on individual demands. Every PLATTE project is a reflection on Berlin’s spirit and its existing communities.
