Successfully founded and launched her design brand ZWINGENBERG with the first collection ETERNAL ATTITUDE (1). All styles are designed and sustainably tailored in Germany. The founders, Julia and Florian Zwingenberg, are deeply driven by their love for design, craftsmanship, architecture, and the beauty of a conscious everyday life. The collections are defined by a rewritten definition of tailoring and elevated minimalism. ZWINGENBERG is not just a fashion statement; it's a reflection of your essence, an embodiment of the harmonious dance between contrasts, and a testament to the power of sustainable dressing.
