Blutsgeschwister
What Karin Ziegler and Christina Haneberg began in a small studio in disused offices at Stuttgart's Nordbahnhof has, thanks to great attention to detail and a lot of heart and soul, become an evergreen oasis of clothing on the textile horizon. The team now numbers more than 60 members and the collections are sold across Europe to the steadily growing blood family. For 10 years now, Blutsgeschwister from Stuttgart have been shining against the dreary textile mainstream. Since 2008 the creative headquarters has been in Berlin.
Behind the blood bond today stand Karin Ziegler as Head of Design in Berlin and Stephan Künz as managing director in Stuttgart.
Philosophy:
Dolce Vita Soulwear.
„What you wear shows who you are and what lifestyle you lead. Blutsschwester is genuine and shows emotion.”
From the inside out, a lasting, heartfelt feeling that fills every area of life. Blood kinship and kinship in spirit, a kinship of souls. Pulsating life, mental dynamism, joy in sensual pleasure. Dolce Vita Soulwear celebrates and ritualises individuality and community.
Blutsgeschwister produces and sells unconventional, authentic, astonishing, individual, exciting, passionate, stylish and detail-loving, home-grown, traditionally ironic fashion and accessories. Glamorous details combined with nostalgic elements and tailoring adaptations characterise the entire Blutsgeschwister Dolce Vita Soulwear. Wearing Blutsgeschwister attire is like a modern blood oath that seals a sense of belonging and makes kinship in spirit visible to the outside world. It is a commitment to freedom and individualism, to hedonism and open-mindedness. Blutsgeschwister are strong personalities shaped by urban life who at the same time help to shape it.
The blood bond is everlasting, enduring and timelessly modern. Our fashion stands on its own, outlasts seasons and does not chase every passing trend.
Faith – Love – Hope.
The symbols cross, heart and anchor form the Blutsgeschwister logo and stand for faith, love and hope: faith in oneself, love for others and hope as a synonym for steady optimism. These three attributes of Christian seafaring are also the navigation system and the engine of every new collection.
Forever …
The desire for pleasure and the leaning towards hedonism, expressed through "soul clothing for the sweet life", lets all blood sisters grow together "forever" into an inseparable blood bond. Two thumbs crossing, unity in spirit, carried outward through textile togetherness, make up the vow of loyalty behind the claim "forever" – inseparable for all eternity.
