About Britt
Regarded as the grande dame of Berlin’s party scene, Britt Kanja remains one of the German capital’s most fascinating style icons. A native Berliner with Norwegian roots, she is deeply anchored in the city — her maternal family history in Berlin stretches back more than 600 years.
Kanja embodies a rare fusion of tradition and avant-garde spirit. Trained as a ballerina, she spent a decade performing on international stages before redirecting her creative force toward shaping Berlin’s cultural landscape.
As co-founder of the legendary club 90 Grad, she helped define the evolution of Berlin’s nightlife, leaving a lasting imprint on the city’s party culture. Yet Britt Kanja represents far more than glamour and dance. With remarkable sensitivity and openness, she invites others into her world, sharing thoughtful reflections on life and on what connection truly means to her.
Again and again, she has demonstrated the courage to reinvent herself. In 2006, she began studying media design, and since her mid-sixties, she has been in demand as an advanced model — challenging conventions around age and beauty with effortless confidence.
Her perceptive spirit and tireless zest for life make Britt Kanja a deeply inspiring presence — one who encourages others to celebrate life in all its diversity, boldness, and authenticity.
