On the occasion of Fashion Revolution Day, Cornelia Westfehling (Sustainability Manager LANIUS) and Annabelle Homann (COO LANIUS) report on everyday company life: What does responsible action look like at LANIUS.

Even though the years of the pandemic were difficult and economic crises are spreading, we can learn from them and emerge stronger in our most important concern. The fashion of the future must be sustainable and, above all, "slow"

Christian Rühl has been head designer at Claudia Lanius' side since 2017 and is the first man in the entire LANIUS team. He is jointly responsible for the fashion direction of the collections and masters the seasonal challenges posed by our demands for good design and sustainability.

We love fashion and that is exactly why we are committed to slow fashion. Twice a year, we create collections of around 120 pieces on average in our Cologne studio - a spring/summer and an autumn/winter collection.

With the “online shop” sales channel, a new, exciting and, above all, responsible chapter began for us, because it was clear from the start: If we launch an online shop, we will only do so if it can be set up sustainably.

Annabelle Homann has been working in marketing at LANIUS since 2014 and has been part of the management team since 2020. She is the daughter of Claudia Lanius, the founder and designer of the brand.

Twice a year - in the spring/summer and fall/winter seasons - we present our new collection at trade fairs, which can be pre-ordered by our retailers. How exactly is a LANIUS collection created? What happens when, how, where and how do you know what trends will prevail next year?

At the end of 2020, we would like to thank you in particular as loyal customers and take stock of the situation. To do this, we visited LANIUS founder Claudia Lanius at home and talked to her about the unusual year and her wishes.
