Trips

Our young designers were welcomed into the company’s brand new showroom and got the chance to get to know the different areas of the company. Corresponding lectures given by different departments of the company explained the working methods and production processes at Betty Barclay to our young designers.

The fashion week draws up to 100,000 visitors and of course we were there again at Berlin Fashion Week in January 2020 with over 40 young designers from our Kehrer fashion school in Stuttgart and Mannheim.

Our young designers found out about versatile inspiration, trend information, contacts and gained valuable impressions of the international fashion business at PREMIUM, SEEK, SHOW AND ORDER, PANORAMA and NEONYT.

The innovation processes and the developments of innovations and high-tech solutions are becoming increasingly rapid. Fashion designers have to be in the know when it comes to innovations. For this reason a visit to Munich Fabric Start is a must for every young designer.

After a very friendly welcome and an introduction on the impressive development of Breuninger, the tailoring department introduced itself. Our young designers also had a guided tour of the workshop, the studios, Breuninger’s Special Service and learned about a few more areas.

During the visit to Breuninger we also met graduates from our fashion school. Visiting former students at their place of work is always amazing and makes us really happy. We’d like to thank Breuninger for the fantastic reception and the very informative and exciting afternoon.

Our young designers were very warmly welcomed and got the chance to get to know the different areas of the business as well as learn about the development of the Krüger Dirndl brand. The visit was very informative and educational. It was also very gratifying to see graduates from our fashion school in Stuttgart again who have found their feet at Krüger Dirndl.

Mario Porst is Head of Marketing and Sales at MONA in Pforzheim. MONA is internationally active in the women's clothing sector and belongs to the Klingel Group. Mr Porst introduced the Klingel Group and gave many of our students interesting insights on the topic of digitalisation in the fashion industry in his keynote lecture. The topic of digitalisation first featured in the creative industry a long time ago: digital tools, virtual teamwork, 3D-programmes etc. are becoming increasingly important.

Mr Porst subsequently also presented the career opportunities at the Klingel Group for graduates of our fashion schools. At a final get-together, our students had the opportunity to speak directly to Mr Porst and get some useful tips from the expert himself.
