The Berlin Fashion Week or Berlin Fashion Week is a series of events in Berlin that has been held twice a year since 2007 and lasts around one week . During the fashion week, fashion shows and trade fairs are held for specialist audiences and the general public. The Berlin Fashion Week is the largest event of its kind in the German-speaking area.

In June 2020 it was announced that the Premium , NEONYT and Seek trade fairs , which had been central elements of Berlin Fashion Week until then , will move to Frankfurt am Main from summer 2021 and that a Frankfurt Fashion Week will be established there.

The next Berlin Fashion Week is planned for January 2021.
