Best German Clothes and Fashion
German clothes and fashion is more than the traditional lederhosen and dirndl. A society with many big towns has created its own style and exports it successfully worldwide. Learn here more about german clothes and fashion design and if this could be the perfect german gift for you.
German Fashion Design
German fashion design is not seldom decent - at least in comparison to the international market. Famous labels are often connected with german designers.
Escada - Strenesse
Label Strenesse conceals Gabriele Strehle from South Germany. In 1976 Escada was founded by the couple Ley.
Karl Lagerfeld - a own success story
Karl Lagerfeld is germany's own fashion success story. Working for Chloe, Fendi and and Krizia, he now has a leading position at Chanel. On the path there he was able to transform his own name into a brand.
Jil Sander
Through her trademark Jil Sander, H. Jiline Sander, from Hamburg, has become more famous than Armani or Chanel in the USA - when we believe "Vogue".
Wolfgang Joop
Although known as recognised designer Wolfgang Joop's success has mainly to do with his perfume.
Ulla Popken: in sizes 16 and up!
A milestone in german clothing is Ulla Popken with her great collection for larger sizes.
She began to design a fashion collection for women who, until that point, had had to leave clothes shops empty handed and frsustrated because they could find no fashionable clothing in their size. The concept for "Young Fashion Starting At 16" developed to a overwhelming success. The orientation towards the wishes and needs of a fashion-conscious, extended-sizes and fashion-conscious was new! a comfortable fit, a great appearence and reasonable pricing is what makes up the Ulla Popken collection.
And so the business was established that to the actual day has met no parallel... Curious? Click below for more information!
Young Fashion in size 16 and upwards. From casual to smart. Fashion for every occasion.
Classic clear Style of german clothes
It's not easy to define a typical German clothes design in the field of fashion. German fashion stands out by a clear, classic, style. German fashion is often designed for casual wear, with a less sporty note than the US. The Simple, pure style are main elements of the individual designer creations from germany. The maybe best example is Jil Sander.
More and more Internationalisation
What concerns german fashion one can speak of a mix of different fashion influences. Thus, Italian, German and French collections can not really be separated. This has of course to do with the career route of young couturiers. It happens often that Germans study abroad or – in the case of Karl Lagerfeld – have shifted the center of their living there. On the other hand, international designers – e.g. Vivienne Westwood – are attracted by Germany.
World Biggest Trade Fair in Duesseldorf
The big money in fashion is produced in the west, in Düsseldorf, through big fashion trade fairs.
Although Germany, unlike countries such as Italy or France, is not a classical fashion country, fashion plays a large role and its meaning is even increasing. In addition to fashion designers like Wolfgang Joop, brands such as Bogner and Boss are famous in the world.
