On the first afternoon of Berlin Fashion Week SS26, traffic halts on Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße as Clara Colette Miramon presents her SS26 Collection CARE. An ambulance idled nearby. Hospital beds and gym equipment lined the curb. Instead of spectacle, there was quiet intention. When the sirens cut off and the vehicle’s doors opened, models stepped out one by one, beginning a show that unfolded like a conversation – slow, composed, and deeply aware of its setting.

Clara Colette Miramons show for her SS26 collection CARE, presented by PLATTE Berlin, reflected on the visible and invisible roles of caregiving in society, especially the ones expected of women. Somewhere between performance and protest, it marked caregiving not as background work, but as something worthy of attention, space, and style.

The collection moves between extremes: voluminous layers vs. constricting corsetry, softness vs. structure. There are visual references to healthcare uniforms and wartime nursing garments — alongside structured bodices, delicate knits, and ruched skirts. The materials and details do much of the storytelling. Corsets echo medical supports; lacing resembles surgical stitching. Loose ribbons hang like IV lines.  

The runway became a living installation. Three models, dressed as nurses, carefully tended to patients lying in hospital beds – not for spectacle, but as a quiet repetition of care. Nearby, others moved slowly on exercise machines, their actions restrained, focused, almost meditative. Miramon’s intention was clear: to give form to what often goes unseen. To remind us of the physical and emotional work that care requires.

The emotional core of CARE lies in its spiritual references. Miramon drew inspiration from votive offerings – small devotional objects left in churches as symbols of hope, healing, or gratitude. These references show up in delicate metal finishes, handmade textures, and garments that feel less like seasonal looks and more like emotional relics. There’s a reverend in every piece, a tension between protection and exposure, intimacy and uniformity. 

With CARE, Clara Colette Miramon stayed true to her practice: fashion that tells stories, asks questions, and moves between the personal and the political. Since founding her label in 2021, she’s explored how clothing can be both expressive and structural — especially for women navigating expectation, identity, and care.

Presented in collaboration with PLATTE Berlin, CARE opened Fashion Week with clarity and calm.  By taking the show to the street and turning models into metaphors, Clara blurred the lines between installation, intervention, and invitation.
