Carol Christian Poell
Carol Christian Poell was born in Linz, Austria. He was surrounded by leather making machines since he was a kid, thanks to his father, uncle and grandfather. He is renowned for his technically complex innovative design and manufacturing techniques, and also for his ability to avoid the media and comercial attention in fashion.
He doesn’t make clothes the traditional way, they are meant to be worn and used, and sometimes they can even hurt you until you have used them several times, as they’re made to be comfortable within time. The garments are usually rigid, limiting the movement of the body.
