032c's "STABLE" collection brings competitive riding into fashion. Creative director Maria Koch drew on her own equestrian experience to shape the collection. It keeps the discipline and precision of equestrianism while leaving its polished, aristocratic fantasy behind. The brand combined runway, editorial, and showroom formats to present the collection.
032c looks to Weimar-era Neue Sachlichkeit and the women portrayed by Lotte Laserstein. Feminine yet athletic, confident yet vulnerable, playful yet serious. A model in a red cape and boots looks less like she's dressed for the stables and more like she's ready for a Berlin club. A beige jacket paired with red pants reads both feminine and athletic. A red halter dress styled with sunglasses and tan gloves evokes equestrian culture with a twist.
Throw Berlin club culture into the mix and the message becomes clear. She may have started in the stable, but staying stable was never the plan. Dressed in riding gear and heading straight to the club. 032c knows how to squeeze tradition and rebellion into a single frame.
This collection is not just an equestrian lookbook. It's a manifesto defining who the 032c Berlin girl is. Disciplined yet free, feminine yet strong as an athlete, rooted in tradition yet ready to bend it. Isn't that exactly what it takes to be a 032c Berlin girl?
