ABOUT THE COLLECTION

With "GANGSTAAA" A GAME OF YOUR OWN RULES, Kilian Kerner presents a collection with a wink – a meeting of two parallel worlds: street style, inspired by rap culture, meets modern interpretations of Old Hollywood glamour. Provocatively sarcastic – yet charmingly humorous. The designer deliberately avoids dark clichés, instead drawing on a cultural aesthetic from music, film, and subculture that represents creative rebellion, self-determination, and belonging – the core messages of the collection. The "gangster" here is portrayed as a figure who breaks conventions and, through style, attitude, and presence, provokes positive change.
