Klaus Richter
European Correspondent
Klaus Richter has been a fixture on the European fashion circuit for over two decades. His reviews, known for their precision and deep historical context, are essential reading. He eschews hype, focusing instead on the integrity of the design, the skill of the cut, and the coherence of the creative vision. Before his current role, Klaus was a critic for 'Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.' His infamous one-sentence review of a highly anticipated but derivative collection—'The archives should have stayed closed'—is still spoken of in fashion circles.
