Anne Toppius

I'm Anne, a fashion designer hailing from Berlin. Graduating in fashion design from Trier University of Applied Sciences in 2006 marked the beginning of my 18-year journey through the realm of outdoor fashion and activewear.

To me, fashion is a language, a canvas for expressing mood, personality, and the essential elements of function and protection. This holds particularly true in the context of outdoor and activewear, where I've cultivated the majority of my professional expertise. The enchanting blend of "form and function" in this arena never ceases to captivate me.

My deep-rooted love for the great outdoors has led me to reconsider my consumer habits and lifestyle choices over an extended period. Guided by the principles of RECYCLE, REDUCE, REUSE, I've transitioned from fast fashion to embracing second-hand treasures and eco-conscious apparel as a conscientious consumer. Moreover, as a designer, I'm driven by a fervent desire and goal—to play my part in diminishing the detrimental impact of the clothing industry on both the environment and humanity.

Did you know that a staggering 80% of a garment's ecological footprint is determined right at the design stage? By weaving together elements of exceptional, timeless design, sustainable materials, efficient supply chains, and demand-driven production under equitable working conditions, we're forging a value chain that underscores our responsibility towards our shared living space.
