Anniversary special: The 1990s, a time of change!

In the 1990s, the publishing house Aenne Burda Verlag established itself as a glamorous media scene, surrounded by stars and renewal. Under the leadership of Aenne Burda, the company combined elegance, innovation, and prestige through iconic and glamorous events. A visionary, Aenne Burda initiated the transition to the digital age while preserving the refined spirit that made her legendary.

The “Claudia” jumpsuit on the left revisits a Burda design from 1991. A star of the 1990s, the jumpsuit has lost none of its charm! Flowing and sewn in khaki lyocell, we love its bold style with an asymmetrical collar with an XL lapel, ideal for structuring a silhouette while maintaining a relaxed look.
