Hess Natur is a German fashion label that was launched in 1976 and has since become a pioneer of eco-friendly and socially responsible fashion. This year they hired Miguel Adrover on a five year contract as their new creative director and entered the US market.

To be honest I had no idea who Adrover was when I first read about this and to be even more honest I was actually quite disappointed when I saw his designs in the online catalogue. Supposedly he was brought in to make Hess Natur more fashionable without alienating loyal customers but I think he just blends in too much with their other designs which are timeless and classic but could really use some fashion-forward details.
Lets see how this develops.
Hess Natur wurde 1976 im hessischen Butzbach gegründet und ist ein vorbildliches Fair Trade und Ökomode-Unternehmen. Dieses Jahr wurde Miguel Adrover als neuer Kreativdirektor für fünf Jahre angeheuert und Hess Natur wird jetzt auch in den USA verkauft.
