Michele
This brand has a long established history as a leading European designer of high quality, long lasting fashions. The Michele brand understands the importance of creating trousers and jeans which fit and flatters all types of figures.
The history of the brand starts in 1920s Germany, where Michael Irskens began a small line of men’s trousers. Slowly, women’s and children’s lines were added. The company changed dramatically when the founder passed away and his sons took over – driving a specialization in ladies trousers. This was so successful that all other lines were ceased in 1958 to pursue the niche in women’s collections. The specific ‘Michele’ brand was born in 1970 when Catherine Hepfer took over running the company. Catherine Hepfer had a vision of designing the perfect trousers and skirts for the stylish, demanding, worldly woman which continues to shape the company today. She understands that the Michele woman is a selective buyer for whom quality is non-negotiable and that details are key. This philosophy has helped to build a loyal base of Michele fans who will wear nothing else.
