Patrick Mohr's Quadrangle Renaissance

Close your eyes and tell me what images come to mind when I say, “Germany.” Beer fest, bratwurst and sauerkraut, the Autobahn, cuckoo clocks, castles, and maybe the Cologne Cathedral?! Well, how about fashion?! “Maybe lederhosen,” you say—those famous knickerbockers made of leather?! Stereotypes don’t die fast…

As we learned in the last article, Berlin alone is home to over 700 designers. The city also hosts the bi-annual Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, as well as the infamous European menswear show, Bread and Butter! Moreover, young German tourists were the biggest buyers in my showroom in Naples, Italy, always searching for the newest trends.

Twenty-nine years ago, a young man by the name of Patrick Mohr was born in Mainz, Germany. The city is also birthplace to Johannes Gutenberg, who has been credited with inventing the mechanical printing process circa 1439, revolutionizing book-making in Europe and fueling the European Renaissance!

After a 4-year stint of modeling in Milan and Paris, Patrick studied fashion at the prestigious Esmod Fashion School in Berlin. Living up to the reputation of his Mainz predecessor, Patrick has been stamping his name on menswear with prize-winning collections since graduation in 2007.

Now based in Munich and Paris, Patrick has been pressing hard to stamp out his 2009 summer collection around the world, including Australia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, and Spain.

Patrick succeeds in binding together ∆ quadrangle jeans, jerseys, and eye wear with a thread of affordable prices and eclectic themes of deconstructed shapes and asymmetrical patterns.
