Made in Berlin

I launched FRANZIUS with my master’s collection. After formative experiences at international fashion houses in New York, Amsterdam, Paris and Milan, I kept finding my way back to Berlin — to a backyard studio with a stove heater. It was here that I developed my collections, built my base, and turned an eclectic idea into a brand — cutting-edge, uncompromising, inclusive, diverse, and marked by a distinctive FRANZIUS DNA.

Breaking Boundaries

My approach thrives on an interdisciplinary network. Creative collaborations — film, art, dance, music, social media, design agencies. I dive deep into Berlin’s subcultures and current trends on the international scene, feel their energy, filter their vibe, and translate it directly into my collections. Every collection radiates joy for life. Authentic. Distinctive. I want everyone, regardless of age, background, or body shape, to find a personal statement in my designs, and in doing so, share in my joie de vivre.

I constantly experiment, testing materials, silhouettes, and combinations, navigating exciting contexts. This is how I translate these currents into my collections and extend them all the way to the streets of Tokyo. My brand core? Always present, clear, and uncompromising. A distinctively FRANZIUS coat. A garment that not only keeps you warm but also tells a story — your own.

D.N.A.

  • D - Depth

    The deeper layer of design lies in emotion. Franzius believes that clothing holds meaning beyond form. Each piece begins with a tactile impulse — a fabric, a texture, a fold — and evolves through intuition rather than formula. This depth is not about complexity, but about connection: between wearer and garment, material and memory, body and movement. What remains is a quiet intensity — timeless, grounded, and deeply human.

  • N - Nuance

    True beauty lives in the in-between. Franzius celebrates the nuances of individuality — the imperfect, the layered, the unspoken. Silhouettes unfold softly, allowing space for personal interpretation. The interplay of contrasts — natural and urban, raw and refined, minimal and expressive — shapes the brand’s visual rhythm. Every collection is an exploration of balance, an invitation to feel rather than to follow.

  • A - Authenticity

    At the core lies honesty — in process, in purpose, in presence. From the first drape on the mannequin to the final stitch, Franzius remains true to its essence: to create garments that are both wearable and meaningful. Produced responsibly in Europe, each design reflects an unfiltered love of craftsmanship and the courage to stay independent. Franzius stands for authenticity — not as an aesthetic, but as a way of being.

Connection to Japan

What began as quiet admiration grew into lasting connection. From the Berlin atelier, Franzius found its way into the hearts and wardrobes of a devoted community in Japan — people who recognize the poetry in texture, the strength in softness, the beauty in restraint. Over the years, these relationships have evolved beyond fashion into friendship and mutual inspiration. Each collection carries traces of this dialogue: a shared sense of balance, precision, and emotional clarity - a silent bridge between Berlin and Tokyo.
