Artistic Vision by Connyie Rethmann
For over 40 years, PRIVATSACHEN has been developing a distinct, poetic language of clothing — created and hand-dyed in Hamburg and rooted in the philosophy of slowcraft. Each garment is dyed and designed individually, using natural materials and traditional techniques. What emerges is not only a collection, but a living body of work — a continuous study of presence, form, and freedom.
Connyie Rethmann, founder and dress author, sees clothing as a personal and cultural expression. Her creative process is intuitive and immersive — she writes, cooks, and composes dresses. Deeply influenced by poetry, traditional craft, and life experience, she transforms what she hears, sees, and feels into garments with soul.
The silhouettes are generous, the textures alive. PRIVATSACHEN rejects trends in favor of essence, individuality, and integrity.
