1st catwalk show at paris fashion week for german label haltbar …
after 4 years working together with kostas murkudis under the name haltbar murkudis, kathleen könig went solo and launched haltbar (timeless, solid, durable in german) in 2007 …
the idea behind the label is to produce items that follow the owner more than one season, are up to date yet timeless, stand against the short-term sight of things, transport a vision and a modern eye on traditional products, work in many circumstances of daily life, are of solid and high quality material and manufacturing, are produced in close cooperation with the know-how of small german family and handicraft businesses, express and underline the self-confidence of the wearer, and will hopefully become favourites … the main inspiration of the haltbar collections comes from workwear, army and traditional clothing …
pastel colours, natural fabrics, unisex mood, clean and relaxed silhouettes, details, tailoring, twisted scarves, vintage shoes …
