The pop-up offers insights into in a very special design collaboration between MINI and Paul Smith, which started in 1998, and share the inspiration behind the MINI Paul Smith edition. On 20th August, KaDeWe became a meeting point for 200 guests from the worlds of culture, fashion, design, and entertainment for the launch of the MINI x Paul Smith pop-up. Amidst the iconic Paul Smith stripes and the new MINI Paul Smith Edition, British design flair met Berlin nightlife. Vibrant spaces, curated design objects, and interactive elements made the connection between the two brands—and the unmistakable MINI spirit—palpable throughout the evening. Guests explored the pop-up through personalized colour readings, live sketching, and live musical performances—including an appearance by the British pop band Blue—creating some of the evening's most memorable images. A special exhibit is a Classic Mini that Paul Smith adorned with his signature stripes in 1999 to mark the Mini brand’s 40th anniversary. The MINI Paul Smith Edition is part of the KaDeWe world until 12th September, with a dedicated space, café, activations and plenty of moments designed to make people stop.
