Future-oriented fashion show: Lübeck tailors celebrate graduations!
In Lübeck on August 23, 2025, a total of twelve talented tailors and tailors gave their best and were ceremoniously acquitted. The event took place in the Lübeck Chamber of Crafts and offered the newly qualified journeymen a festive setting to present their skills. Chief Master Angela Ziemer and Deputy Mayor Silke Mählenhoff honored the centuries-old tradition of tailoring and the importance it has for fashion and personal expression. Silke Mählenhoff emphasized that suitable clothing influences the feeling of well-being and underlines the character of the wearer. hl-live.de reports that these topics also played a central role in the speeches.
The head master Angela Ziemer asked the bachelors to be creative. There should be no limits to shapes, colors and materials so that everyone can develop their own individual masterpiece. A special highlight of the celebration was a fashion show in which the journeymen's pieces were presented. Both tailors and custom tailors appeared and showed what they were made of. The dual training to become a tailor lasts two years, while bespoke tailors usually complete a three-year training course. The important thing here is the practical skills that are taught in tailoring shops or tailoring studios.

The requirements for the position are diverse, from manual skills to communication skills to the ability to work in a team.
