Buyers Select focuses on key buyers, who share their favorite pieces from Pitti Connect brands.

With a swift ascension in the world of high fashion retail, German fashion buyers and creative supervisors Henning Korb and Klaud Ritzenhöfer have demonstrated an enduring knack for trend-spotting and forecasting. Today based in Cologne, Germany, Korb took his first steps in the industry thirteen years ago initially by working for a modeling agency, which was quickly followed by his entry at Apropos, a multi-city concept store, with a focus on high fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, of which he is today a managing partner, working closely with Klaus Ritzenhöfer.
Ritzenhöfer co-founded the store in 1984 with Daniel Riedo which has now grown to seven stores in five different locations.
Check out our interview with Henning and Klaud at the 100th edition of the Pitti menswear fair and see their selects below.
