Homage to Fred Spillmann

Homage to Fred Spillmann

(1915-1986)

Fred Spillmann wrote history in Basel: He was an eccentric, provoked by his clothes and his moral conduct. In his salons in the house in the Rheinsprung
very famous people from all over the world allowed
themselves to be clothed. His cocktail parties and the opening ceremonies before the official fashion show were considered as a social happening where «the whole of Basle» met. Shortly before his 100th fashion show he passed away in 1986 at the age of 71.
