Darklands

Berlin's temple of dark, experimental design

Cover

Featured in The Best Fashion Stores in the World

Darklands is the definitive destination for fans of dark, avant-garde fashion — a nomadic Berlin institution that feels closer to a cultural space than a shop. Founded by Campbell McDougall in 2008, it gathers the uncompromising world of Carol Christian Poell, Geoffrey B. Small, Layer 0 and Label Under Construction across raw, minimal showroom spaces. The edit is unusually deep and knowledgeable, drawing collectors of experimental design from around the world. Fiercely independent, it is the reference point for anyone devoted to this corner of fashion.
