Clemens en August will be touring through ten cities across Europe making a three day pit-stop in each city; the Munich-based fashion label only sell exclusively at their temporary pop-up boutiques. This season, you’ll find them at the Schinkel Pavillon gallery in Berlin. The brand’s look is classic and sophisticated with a subtle twist. The collection (both women and men) is quite pricy but also of high quality. The name Clemens en August is a nod to the owner’s ancestors, two Dutch brothers named Clemens and August who were travelling textile traders in the Netherlands and later founded a store which is now one of the world’s largest retailers – C&A. The fashion brand Clemens en August made by Alexander Brenninkmeijer however is completety independent and not connected to the über-brother!
