Established in the spring of 2006, Berlin based power house MICHALSKY has – in less than 3 years – become  one of Germany’s most influential brands as well as a central component of Berlin’s fashion week; with after-show parlors attracting the smarter set of local style aficionados. 

Founding wizard, Michael Michalsky, formally Global Creative Director at Adidas, brought about his eponymous brand name with the self proclaimed aspiration to slender the gap between high fashion and up-street wear, resulting in collections that hold just as much worth as a new symbol of  understated coolness…with a strong creative integrity as “the cherry on top of the pie”.

Along with its premium line, MICHALSKY offers well conceived and beautifully constructed pieces always elaborated in high quality materials such as boiled, felted or virgin wools, lamb or calf leathers and other cashmere blends. The style aesthetic is decisively modern and right on cue with the latest trends, the fit is trimmed and so is theprice tag; always down to earth. The company’s motto is as clear a statement as can be: “Real Clothes for Real People”.

Additionally to regular collaborations with artists of international status that ultimately enrich the creative spine of the collections, MICHALSKY also teams up with major companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Wella, Sony…and more recently with Korean power house M.C.M. for which the brand creates a exclusive capsule collection of sneakers entitled “Urban Nomads” which is already favored by a major success worldwide.
