UY Studio Backstage

The Brvtalist is pleased to present exclusive backstage photos from UY Studio. Recently, our longtime collaborators and Berlin-based fashion label released, Berlin Waves, a new campaign showcasing their Spring/Sumer 2019 collection. The campaign celebrates the core values of the label which include freedom, queerness and gender fluidity. In addition, Waves is particularly special as UY invited the models the style themselves in order to bring their own personalities to the UY experience. The backstage photos capture some of the raw energy and candidness of the shoot while also beautifully displaying the clothes.

The Spring/Summer 2019 collection carries a certain freshness while staying true to UY’s dark, monochrome stylings. As always, the items are gender neutral and use a variety of quality materials all handcrafted by some very talented designers and seamstresses. We love the look of the khaki trenches and of course the headgear looks fantastic.
