German Designers

[EveryDress]

Hi,

I just started a shop in Germany (de). As I am writing a blog as well I am looking also for information on vintage clothing. My special interest are German Designers, so I hope to find here stories, background information and pictures on designers who left the country e.g. Jews who escaped the Holocaust.

Greetings from Berlin

Greetings to you Sonja!

A Facebook friend of some of us is a long time collector of vintage fashions from Germany and Austria. Here is his page of labels:

Are you on Facebook? You may wish to get in touch with this man.

Hello,

Very interesting subject. I was just thinking about posting and asking if anyone knew this German milliner and designer named Claire Bischof. I have a black circa 1930s or 1940s hat with her black and gold label. Reads: Salon Claire Bischof, Mannheim, Am Schwetzingerplatz. Do you know of her? I have not found nay information as yet, but I just started looking.

I'll come back and post a photo later today.

Here is the Claire Bischoff label from the circa 1930's to 40's hat.

Hmmm,

Now that I see it in close up, it may be spelled Clare with the German "umlut" thingie or whatever you call it..and I see I made a typo on the Bischof...sorry.

Can you believe I took 4 years of German in high school!!

If you have any info on Ms. Bischof I am interested. The hat is in my permanent collection for now.

Hello Rue-de-la-Paix,

I have not heard of C. Bischof. It is actually a very unusual name, looks like she might be English but they have germanized the name. I will see if I can find anything unfortunately my laptop is in repair and my books are in storage.
