HORROR VACUI was founded in Munich in 2014 by Anna Heinrichs.
Her enthusiasm for intricate details and the idea of designing fashion with a narrative appeal continue to shape the brand to this day.
The name, Latin for ‘fear of empty spaces’, reflects the desire to design each piece with care and meaning.
Inspired by Renaissance aesthetics and Bavarian tradition, Anna combines historical influences with modern design – implemented in Liberty patterns and timeless silhouettes.
Characteristic elements such as scalloped hems, ‘Froschgoscherl’ embellishments and handcrafted smocked details testify to a high standard of craftsmanship.
HORROR VACUI stands for fashion that combines function and craftsmanship with a narrative approach.
