Fashion Council Germany
Munich, May 19, 2026: Last Tuesday evening, together with Airbnb and Kreativ München, we hosted a Fireside Dinner at the Grapes wine bar in Munich. Since 2018, our event series has regularly brought together key figures from politics, media, and fashion in Germany's largest cities in a relaxed and intimate setting.
With the support of the City of Munich, we were able to welcome guests to the wine bar, located directly in the CORTIINA Hotel in Munich's city center. Among those present were Andreas Römer (Oberpollinger), Anna Heinrichs (Horror Vacui), Beppo Brem (City Councillor of the City of Munich), Chelsea Jean Lamm (Designer), Christian Beck (Aigner), Elena Lorenz (Airbnb), Franziska Frosch (Elle Germany), Kristina Foerster (Amazon Fashion), Lisa Riehl (Condé Nast Germany), Patrick Pendiuk (Vogue Germany), Patricia Riekel (City Councillor of the City of Munich), Sebastian Warschow (Haebmau), Smruti Sriram (Bags of Ethics), Tana-Maria Schächtele (TikTok Shop), and Ulrike Grimm (City Councillor of the City of Munich). Following opening speeches by Aline Lahaye (Airbnb), Olaf Kranz (Kreativ München), and Scott Lipinski (Fashion Council Germany), the guests engaged in a relaxed exchange about industry topics.
We thank our partners of the evening, the team at Grapes Wine Bar, as well as Dr. Hauschka and Bags of Ethics for the wonderful goodie bags.
