High-end fashion manufactured in Germany is a stable mark on the catwalks worldwide. For years now designers like Wolfgang Joop and Escada have been international active players. On top of that, the new "Wunderkind Couture" label of Wolfgang Joop has gained huge accomplishment recently. The events and balls in Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt appear to be a platform for the triumphs of German fashion-makers such as Escada, Talbot Runhof, Unrath & Strano and Anna von Griesheim who are popular not only in Germany.

In daily life, Germans tend to focus more on the practical way of dressing. Not counting the functional business attire the German people tend to go for the casual sportswear, such as Boss and Strenesse, although headquartered in the south of Germany, both labels have long been well established in global markets.

In major German cities specifically there are plenty of opportunities for playing with fashion. Full of ingenuity and wittiness, a bunch of creative fashion designers put up rough competition with fashion capitals like London and Paris.

Furthermore, The Berlin Fashion Week, with fashion presentations of well-established as well as new designers, is a key fashion event in Berlin and in the entire state of Germany.

From Bulthaup kitchens to Braun razors - German products are well known for their fine design, straightforwardness and functionality. Furniture manufacturers such as Wilkhahn and Vitra still set the trends when it comes to style, as do Lamy for writing implements and Erco for luminaries.

The traditions of Bauhaus in the 1920s and the Ulm College in the 1950s are still highly regarded, though meanwhile a new generation has made quite of a name to itself.
