016 ‘SKIRT’

Breaking Rigid Gender Stereotypes. “Skirt,” the debut fashion film by #DAMUR, curated in collaboration with Taiwanese director Psychobaby Gill and co-director Damur Huang, tells the love story of seven young students in Berlin. Each character is adorned in unique skirts from the #DAMUR SS25 collection, showcasing real and surreal aesthetics and sensuality, which reflects every one of us. They gather and wander through Görlitzer Park in their daydream, then share the desire for intimacy in the safest place, the so-called home. They fully reveal their identities on the dance floor with fun and boldness. There is no gender, no sexual orientation, no race, or body shape that matters, because they are united by the expressive power of the skirts they wear. Drawing cinematic inspiration from the classic movie “Blow-Up,” “Skirt” challenges societal expectations of specific genders and opens a dialogue about the power dynamics resulting from rigid gender stereotypes. The film encourages viewers to reconsider traditional gender norms and embrace the diversity and individuality that skirts can represent. The SS25 collection is #DAMUR’s way of rethinking those frustrations, turning them into a universal message of inclusion and self-expression.
