The brand name means “counterpoint” in German.
Concept
Clothing that respects the classics and fundamentals while unafraid of the avant-garde, always remaining fresh without veering into flamboyance. Designs that at times convey a sense of wit. Clothing for men and women of all ages who take an active interest in dressing. Clothing for people with a cultural outlook, particularly those interested in art.
