KILIAN KERNER

»It's love. Love of fashion, love of people, curiosity and the feeling of always creating something.«

Designer Kilian Kerner is showing his collection at Berlin Fashion Week for the 20th time – and for the fourth time as KXXK, which he himself describes not as a label, but as a “collaboration with himself.” As a self-taught designer, Kilian Kerner has carved his own unique path in the fashion world over the course of his career. World-renowned fashion critic Suzy Menkes described him as “imaginative.” As the designer and managing director of the high-fashion label Kilian Kerner, he created a total of 24 collections between 2004 and 2016 and presented his creations in cities including London, New York, Vienna and Paris. At Berlin Fashion Week, he successfully presented 16 shows in a row. In 2010, he founded Kilian Kerner Senses – a commercially oriented second line to complement the classic label – which sold in 14 countries worldwide. “If you don’t live this job as a calling and feel, think and breathe with everything you have, then you can leave it right away,” says Kilian Kerner. This ambition is also reflected in the numerous design collaborations that he continues to take on in order to remain successful as a designer, whether with Samsonite, Nike, Smart or Häagen Dazs.
