The couture of the Cologne-based designer Gesine Moritz can

be found today in all the big cities across the globe. She has

pursued this style for the past twenty-five years - a blend of

natural elegance and self-assured extravagance. Gesine Moritz

was born 1941 in Berlin and grew up in Husum on Germany’s

North Sea coast. She studied photography and graphic design

at the Folkwang School in Essen and subsequently enjoyed a

successful career in advertising. The desire to create one’s own

product resulted in her first clothes designs at the close of the

70s, which Gesine Moritz perceived as a conscious alternative

to the prevalent fashion at the time. Since then she has designed

her collections with a new take on materials and fabric, using

innovative cuts inspired by art, film and literature - a hommage

indeed to the rich culture of feminine apparel.

The label Gesine Moritz has been distributed since 1994 by

Vestimentum GmbH & Co KG with great success.
