THE LABEL
NAKT is a Berlin fashion brand that originated from the local underground techno scene.
The idea was born as an art project in 2018 at Berghain. What once started out as a design project, has evolved into a strong community consisting of designers, DJs, models, tattoo artists, and many ravers – The NAKT Family.
OUR MISSION
Our Mission is to provide reliable, high-quality clubwear that enhances your personal clubbing experience.
At NAKT we embrace and support diversity, equality, and inclusivity. Our brand stands for freedom of expression, individuality, and acceptance. We strive to create a safe and inclusive space for everyone. Join us in spreading love, positivity, and the joy of being true to oneself. Let's rave together toward a world filled with pride and acceptance.
The NAKT signature look is defined by hard cuts, obscure minimalistic designs, slick metal chains, striking iron buckles and is heavily influenced by industrial elements.
All our clothing is designed in Berlin, by ravers for ravers, ensuring that each piece is made with the utmost care and attention to detail.
THE RAVES
Our events are characterised by hard techno and a strong sense of community. We create a space for self-expression and a place where you can fully be yourself. We recognize the importance of creating a safe and welcoming space for individuals of all gender identities and sexual orientations. So we do not tolerate any kind of sexism, homophobia, transphobia, discrimination or disrespect of any kind.
We can’t wait to see you on the dancefloor!
THE FOUNDER
Hi! I’m Moritz, the founder of NAKT. Our story began in 2017, during my studies in Berlin. In those days, I used to spend a lot of time partying at Berlin’s underground techno clubs. Eventually, I developed a particular interest in finding a unique outfit that would underline my personality and provide a distinctive look, ideally for the Berghain.
After a frustrating journey exploring boutiques and searching through online stores without any success, I ultimately made the decision to take a different approach: I purchased the necessary equipment at a hardware store in order to create my very first harness although I had no clue how to produce clothing – I had no prior experience in designing patterns or sewing. However, I was surprised with the results and how well it turned out, which lead me to the idea to teach myself how to sew.
Soon enough, the first bodies, made of elastic strips combined with leather and hard cuts, followed. The first prototypes were used during raves at Berghain and the several other clubs of Berlin.
Shortly after that, the first friends joined the project and we founded the NAKT family. I kept focusing on my ideas and worked on new forms of clothing with my mom’s sewing machine.
The concept of NAKT quickly grew, and with the help of my friends, we managed to keep up with the growth. We reached our first milestone with the organization of a massive fashion show at Griessmuehle during which we had the opportunity to connect with over a 1000 ravers. Additionally, we shot a short movie with Arthur Valverde called “RAVE” which aims to reflect our vision at NAKT. Moreover, we have established individual cooperation with a variety of shops across Europe, including shops in Berlin, Amsterdam and London.
In 2019, we hosted our first party: the NAKT Loft Party. For a total of three times, we turned a loft office into a techno club featuring a darkroom, a tattoo studio and live performances: the events turned out to be some of the wildest parties I have ever been to! The team drastically expanded, our community grew remarkably and we achieved to carry out further collaborations with clubs, DJ’s and fashion stores as well as additional fashion shows and techno events which would feature our newest collections.
Since 2020, we have found a new home in the heart of Neukölln.
Thanks to the friends who made NAKT what it is today and have always believed in the project:
