The thing about the tulle skirt!
It makes everyone look like a princess. And I love princesses!
Remember Collection No. 1?
Sure, I actually remember every single piece that I ever designed. On the other hand I can’t remember my own telephone number.
Happy Luxury:
Luxury per se is boring!
Made in our Neighborhood:
Think global, act local. We follow that principle with our partners around Munich.
So in love with…

The golden combination: holding on to important values but being open to everything
Empowerment
I only hire women. Sorry guys!
Occasion dressing:
That is the most fun part of fashion. You can never be overdressed!
