Best Berlin Streetwear Brands
8 brands · Brands by city · Updated September 2026This is a shortlist of Berlin-born labels for anyone who wants the city's actual output: German heritage workwear, club-bred tailoring, technical minimalism and airbrushed graphic streetwear. The verdict — Berlin is less about logo hype than about ideology, craft and nightlife, so expect mid-to-high prices and small production runs rather than cheap graphic drops.

#7Gerrit Jacob

#8Hien Le
Berlin label by Vietnamese-German designer Hien Le, making minimalist tailoring and separates in clean lines and high-quality materials.
Berlin's clothing scene splits into a few clear lanes, and knowing which one you're shopping makes the list much easier to use.
Heritage and craft
Frank Leder is the outlier and the anchor: since 2003 the Central Saint Martins-trained designer has reworked German workwear, folk dress and military uniform in Deutschleder and Schladminger loden, washed linens, nightshirts and chore jackets, produced in Germany in small runs. It sits at a mid-to-high price and rewards patience rather than trend-chasing. Hien Le, launched in 2010, works the quiet end: straight lines, restrained detailing, minimalist tailoring and fluid separates with a sporty, utilitarian edge, also mid-to-high.
Club culture and graphics
GMBH — founded in 2016 by Serhat Isik and Benjamin Alexander Huseby, who met in Berlin's techno clubs — is the most conceptual pick, merging sharp tailoring, leather, denim and body-conscious jersey with Turkish and Norwegian-Pakistani heritage and Muslim and migrant identity. It shows in Paris, was an LVMH Prize semi-finalist twice, and prices highest on this list. Gerrit Jacob (founded 2022) is the loudest: airbrushed and hand-drawn graphics, psychedelic colour, distorted logo tees and bandanas from a designer who passed through Balenciaga, Martine Rose and Gucci. 032c bridges both worlds — a biannual culture magazine since 2000 that added clothing in 2015, giving you logo knitwear, denim and technical outerwear with adidas, Stüssy and 1017 ALYX 9SM collabs in its history.
Technical and functional
Arys (2014) is the one to start with if you want wearable, muted, adaptive-fabric tracksuits, unisex outerwear and technical knitwear; its Kollwitzstrasse 51 shop in Prenzlauer Berg now doubles as a curated multi-brand concept, so it's the most useful single stop in the city.
The ones that aren't conventional labels
Highsnobiety is a Berlin media company first — founded 2005, majority-owned by Zalando since 2022 — with an in-house HS line of tees, hoodies, caps and co-branded capsules. It wound down its multi-brand e-commerce operation in September 2025, so treat it as a publisher and collaborator, not a shop. Mykita is eyewear only: screwless steel, acetate and 3D-printed MYLON frames made in Kreuzberg, with Thélios (LVMH) holding a minority stake since 2024. Great accessory, not a clothing brand.
Common questions
Which Berlin brands are actually from Berlin?
Frank Leder, 032c, Arys, GMBH, Gerrit Jacob, Hien Le, Highsnobiety and Mykita are all Berlin-based. Casablanca (Paris) and Nude Project (Barcelona) are international labels that circulate in Berlin retail but aren't Berlin-origin, so they're no longer part of this origin-based shortlist.
Where can I buy Berlin streetwear online?
Buy direct from each label's own site, and visit Arys at Kollwitzstrasse 51 in Prenzlauer Berg, where the store pairs its own line with curated international functional and outdoor brands. Note that Highsnobiety closed its multi-brand e-commerce operation in September 2025 and is no longer a place to shop other labels. disco is a directory, not a retailer — we don't sell anything.
What's the most affordable way in?
Most of this list sits in the mid-to-high tier — Frank Leder, 032c, Arys, Gerrit Jacob and Hien Le — with GMBH and Mykita priced higher. Graphic tees, caps and hoodies from 032c, Gerrit Jacob and Highsnobiety are the cheapest entry points.
Which brand should I start with?
Want everyday wearability: Arys. Want German craft and fabric: Frank Leder. Want the club-culture, conceptual side of the city: GMBH. Want loud graphics: Gerrit Jacob.
Is Mykita a clothing brand?
No — Mykita makes eyewear only, handmade at its Kreuzberg manufactory, including screwless stainless-steel frames with patented spiral hinges and 3D-printed MYLON models. It's included as a Berlin accessory reference point alongside the clothing labels.
