Company Portfolio Wolfgang Joop COMPANY PORTFOLIO WOLFGANG JOOP Creative director, Wolfgang Joop, is in the top league of the most recognized and successful designers, at home as well as abroad (nationally known by 87%). The symbiosis between brand and designer is phenomenal. With the creation of WUNDERKIND Wolfgang Joop has built the only German fashion house of its kind. It was conceived in the school of the classic couture salons and ateliers. Each sample collection is designed, created and produced in house in the Villa Rumpf, Potsdam, Germany. Wolfgang Joop © Alexa Vachon 2013 COMPANY OVERVIEW WUNDERKIND is an internationally highly recognized fashion label, part of an exclusive league of women deluxe ready-to-wear (RTW) labels showing in Paris. Founded in 2003, WUNDERKIND presented its first collection at the New York Fashion Week in 2004 and premiered in Paris 2006. Since then a lot of power, knowledge, investment and an extraordinary level of design and workmanship have built a unique and mystic brand. Besides Jil Sander WUNDERKIND is the only German luxury designer brand, which has achieved an outstanding interna- tional reputation with a hallmark of a unique design. Fall / Winter 2014 Défilé – Paris, March 3rd 2014 © NowFashion VISION To become an international fast-growing brand between art and fashion with a unique design and a personalized luxury-class craftmanship for men and wo- men, WUNDERKIND does not follow external trends. Wolfgang Joop‘s signature style is defined by a subtle play between structured, tailored, masculine pieces and soft, fluid, feminine shapes in sensual, luxurious fabrics, which are treated with unexpected and innovative techniques. The line focuses on the highest level of craftsmanship and pays careful attention to detail. WUNDERKIND sets trends itself, it celebrates individualism.

Fall / Winter 2012 Défilé – Potsdam © Christoph Mack DISTRIBUTION & DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY WUNDERKIND’s products are marketed through two main sales channels: wholesale and retail. 1. Wholesale The house of WUNDERKIND is offering their worldwide clientele a sophisticated range of luxury Prêt-à-Porter collection and accessories. WUNDERKIND has been listed at the world‘s most renowned luxury fashion houses, department stores and exclusive boutiques. WUNDERKIND Store Berlin Mitte 2013 © Beate Wätzel DISTRIBUTION & DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY 2. Retail WUNDERKIND opened its first award winning flagship store in Berlin in December 2006. In 2008 the company opened two more stores in Germany: one boutique on the German luxury resort island Sylt and another boutique in Berlin Mitte. 2008 WUNDERKIND also opened its first international flagship store in London’s Mayfair district on Mount Street. Introducing a new boutique and retail concept WUNDERKIND opened 2013 the first boutique in Munich and one in Potsdam, the hometown of Wolfgang Joop. In May 2014 WUNDERKIND will open another store at Kurfürstendamm, Berlin‘s luxurious shopping mile in the City West. Three further boutiques are planned until 2015. WUNDERKIND Store Berlin Mitte 2013 © Beate Wätzel MARKET POSITION Fashion and accessories is the biggest segment within the luxury market with a market share of approximately 50%. Producers of luxury fashion are facing several market trends: • demand for personalized luxury • increase of accessories market share • broadening of product portfolio • online shopping for luxury items. Classifying RTW houses along two axes, namely luxury orientation and design philosophy, WUNDERKIND is positioned clearly at the high end of both axes. Fall / Winter 2014 Défilé – Paris, March 3rd 2014 © NowFashion WUNDERKIND EYEWEAR WUNDERKIND introduced the latest addition to the brand’s eyewear collection in April 2014. Meticulously crafted from finest Italian vintage acetates, each model is a unique masterpiece, reflecting the uniqueness that characterizes the WUNDERKIND brand. The new sunglasses will be available in WUNDERKIND boutiques, the WUNDERKIND online store, high-endopticians and quality department stores worldwide.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86495-4 - German Intellectuals and the Nazi Past A. Dirk Moses Excerpt More information Introduction The proposition that the Federal Republic of Germany has developed a healthy democratic culture centered around memory of the Holocaust has almost become a platitude.1 Symbolizing the relationship between the Federal Repub- lic’s liberal political culture and honest reckoning with the past, an enormous Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe adjacent to the Bundestag (Federal Parliament) and Brandenburg Gate in the national capital was unveiled in 2005. States usually erect monuments to their fallen soldiers, after all, not to the vic- tims of these soldiers. In the eyes of many, the West German and, since 1990, the united German experience has become the model of how post-totalitarian and postgenocidal societies “come to terms with the past.”2 Germany now seemed no different from the rest of Europe – or, indeed, from the West generally. Jews from Eastern Europe are as happy to settle there as they are to emigrate to Israel, the United States, or Australia.3 1 Bill Niven, Facing the Nazi Past: United Germany and the Legacy of the Third Reich (London and New York, 2002). For an excellent overview of postwar memory politics, see Andrew H. Beattie, “The Past in the Politics of Divided and Unified Germany,” in Max Paul Friedman and Padraic Kenney, eds., Partisan Histories: The Past in Contemporary Global Politics (Houndmills, 2005), 17–38. 2 For example, Daniel J.
