🕺 For Running Order, Raving is a Marathon TLDR: The brand’s anonymous founder dives into its backstory and design philosophy to explain the “performance clubwear” ethos. Why It Matters: Every weekend, legendary Berlin nightclub Berghain hosts a signature party called Klubnacht: a 36-hour techno marathon with some of the scene’s most revered DJs. This striking straightedge concept planted the seeds for “performance clubwear” brand Running Order. “We build our clothes in a style that is honestly and truly fit for all,” she says, though taking care to note that nothing can ever be “perfect.” The brand was founded with sustainability at its core — often utilizing deadstock fabric bought in bulk, while its other textiles are locally sourced from factories in Europe, such as the recycled Italian warp-knit. “Run. Rave. Rinse. Repeat.” isn’t merely the motto of Running Order – it’s a principle that guides the founders in all of their endeavors.
