Clara Colette Miramon Takes Care
Care is the quiet architecture of our world. It’s essential, tireless, and too often overlooked.
Care is everywhere, yet rarely seen. For Spring/Summer 2026, Clara Colette Miramon brings it right into the open with Care — a collection that celebrates softness, strength, and the quiet power of looking after one another.
The show unfolds outdoors on Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße, directly in front of the Volksbühne. The street becomes the runway. A white, fabric-covered catwalk stretches across the asphalt, flanked by a sculptural installation of hospital beds and Pilates reformers. Part performance, part fashion show, the scene blurs the line between everyday life and the intimate spaces where care takes place.
At the heart of the collection is the nurse — especially the iconic 1960s silhouette — reimagined as a figure of grace, resilience, and emotional stamina. Classic uniforms are softened and reshaped, nodding to the generations of women whose care work has long gone unnoticed. There’s tenderness here, but also confidence: a femininity that holds things together without asking for applause.
One of the collection’s most striking motifs is the spine. Corset lacing runs down garments like vertebrae, inspired by medical braces and orthopedic supports. Some looks even draw directly from scoliosis braces, transforming functional medical details into sculptural design moments. The result feels both protective and exposed — delicate, yet strong.
Fabric plays its own game of push and pull. Ruched and gathered panels seem to overflow from seams and bodices, as if the garments themselves are breathing. These soft eruptions add movement and emotion, suggesting a body that refuses to be neatly contained.
The show moves in two acts. First comes the caretaker: calm, steady, grounded. Then the mood shifts toward self-care and strength, inspired by Pilates. Leggings, fitted tops, and soft jackets echo sportswear, but with anatomical cuts and gentle detailing. It’s activewear with feeling — supportive, sensual, and quietly powerful.
The finale brings everything together in a bold, unexpected way: a short, sculptural wedding dress built around a real scoliosis brace. Part armor, part celebration, it captures the spirit of the collection — care as something visible, worn proudly, and impossible to ignore.
With Care, Clara Colette Miramon reminds us that tenderness can be strong, structure can be soft, and the most essential work often happens quietly. This is fashion that supports, holds, and moves — just like care itself.
The show is produced and supported by PLATTE.Berlin, with additional support from the Pankow District Office and the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises (SenWEB) of the State of Berlin. Material sponsorship is provided by Vinted.
