Carl Tillessen

not only developed collections under the FIRMA label for 17 years, which won numerous awards, but also six of his own stores, an online store and a cosmetics line.

Niels Holger Vienna

Niels Holger Vienna

studied fashion at the Royal Academy in Antwerp and learned the trend trade from Li Edelkoort. Today, he is chairman of Intercolor, the global network of trend institutions that sets color trends.

Portrait Bettina Hauff

Bettina Hauff

has made a name for herself internationally as a trend luminary by successfully advising numerous European women's wear companies. She brings everything you could wish for in a trend analyst: the global perspective of the globetrotter living in Paris and the profound knowledge of her German home market, fashion vision and commercial realism, decades of experience and insatiable curiosity.

Winfried Rollmann

Winfried Rollmann

is a "dyed in the wool" textile expert. Even as a child, he played among the bales of fabric in his parents' intermediate master's business. Today he is our man in Paris. He rides his Vespa to the Paris shows and fairs, as well as to the Concertation Européenne, where the fashion colors are voted on two years in advance.

Christel Wickerath

Christel Wickerath

researches where the moment of truth strikes for fashion, namely at the point of sale. Her in-depth analyses of retail data go far beyond the usual bumper-to-bumper evaluations and provide deep insights into the psychological reasons for the success and failure of fashion.

Alexandra von Schledorn

Alexandra von Schledorn

the precise observation and description of fashion has become second nature to her during her years as an apprentice and master at BURDA. She breathes fashion 24/7 and proves herself time and again as a living "Brand Bible" with her reports. Whoever wakes her up at night, if she ever does sleep, gets an industry forecast for the next day.
