On the 2nd of February 2026, presented a captivating live couture performance. The show was part of RAUM.Berlin, curated by Fashion Council Germany. It unfolded as a contemporary ritual exploring freedom, presence and the power of collective experience within the Berlin scene.
An opulent dinner table, designed in collaboration with Flores y Amores, took the center of the performance. A nude male performer sat atop the lavishly set table, forming a striking image reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper. The tableau created a deliberately decadent and absurd tension, confronting tradition, ritual, and spectacle while questioning who is seen, celebrated, and sanctified in contemporary culture. Instead of treating fashion as pure spectacle, the performance framed couture as a living ritual, an act of gathering, witnessing, and shared presence. Berlin set the emotional tone: a city where outsiders create their own sanctuaries and community stands in for convention. Ritual Unions draws directly from this spirit, shaping garments that sit between ceremony and rebellion.Â
The collection reflects Ritual Unions’ signature language of post-bridal couture: structured silhouettes, visible corsetry, sculptural draping, and tactile embellishments that merge ceremonial craft with subversive modernity. Each look balances restraint and exposure, echoing the performance’s central theme, clothing as armor, offering protection while revealing the body with intention.Â
