Dresses of Germany

German occasion dressing rewards structure over sparkle; Munich holds both sides of the argument. Trachtenmoden Strele works in tracht, traditional clothing, dirndl, the whole Bavarian dress vocabulary, from dirndl bodices to loden coats. Escada is a German luxury womenswear house built on bold colours and elegant silhouettes, power dressing since 1978. Dorothee Schumacher makes feminine power dressing through bold prints and luxurious fabrics, with tailoring that actually means what it promises. Fit decides everything here; the mirror argues more honestly than any sales pitch in the room.
