About Fraubraun
Fraubraun features an eclectic mix of unique pieces lovingly sourced by Stefanie Braun with garments ranging from the 1930s to the modern era. As a long time collector of vintage clothing, Stefanie has developed her passion for fashion, photography and styling into the Fraubraun concept.
The individual pieces in Fraubraun's online catalogue are modelled by real women who take their own photographs with the help of a cable release. This creates a playful scenario for each model to freely translate the mood and feel of the garment and to combine this with their distinct personal style. Browsing the online catalogue becomes an accessible and enjoyable shopping experience. Fraubraun is not about designer labels, it is about discovering unique pieces with a contemporary edge for everyday wear and special occasions.
In addition to making the collection available online, Fraubraun also hosts one-off selling events in London and the UK throughout the year, sources specific items for you and provides individual style consultations. You can also visit Fraubraun at her East London studio to try on pieces of the collection in person - please email stefanie@fraubraun.com to set up an appointment at your convenience. For regular updates on forthcoming events please join the email newsletter.
