Designer Spotlight: PHILIPP PLEIN

Saturday, April 08, 2017

Philipp Plein was born in Munich in 1978 and educated in Switzerland and Germany.

In 1998 he entered the world of design by producing exclusive furnishings in steel and leather initially for family and friends, which soon became a full time professional activity, demanding enough for Plein to abandon his law studies.

In 2000 he launched the Home Collection including interior and outdoor furnishings

His involvement in leather craftsmanship led him to experiment with leather garments and accessories, and finally to launch his own fashion brand in 2004.

The accessory line was launched in 2006

The company continued to grow and two major milestones were reached in 2008 with the opening of the first flagship store in Monte Carlo and the first commercial showroom in Milan

Here are some of his designs and fashion collections
