Fashion... ok when you hear the word fashion, Frankfurt is probably not a city that jumps to mind, but hold it right there. You just might be surprised. This is coming from someone that one, loves clothing and is a stylist, two, lived in London with the best fashion brands, shops, etc at my finger tips and three, is always on the lookout for the best of the best. So today I want to share with you some of my finds. Of course some of these may seem pretty obvious but who doesn’t need a little reminding every now and then right? And for those of you that are new to this wonderful city, then you need this list.
I've categorised my list by physical fashion boutiques, online boutiques, secondhand/vintage shops, newer/smaller brands and kids. Let's not forget about the little folks! Also please be aware this is by no means an exhaustive list, if I had to list all my favourites we’d have a novel on our hands! However, I needed to put some kind of structure to this and I find it's best with a small list of five. Short and sweet is my motto.
FASHION BOUTIQUES
It's minimal interior, abundance of light and art gallery appeal is the place to go to for many of your Scandic brands. You will not walk out empty handed.
Fahrgasse 10
Walking into 2nd Home is like walking into the most curated home you have ever been too. Every piece in this shop has been carefully placed to perfection. And Maike's selection of clothing is no different. You'll find a selection of beautiful dresses, lux skirts, cool t-shirts and jackets for men along with an array of accessories for both.
Vogelsbergstraße 38
I'm sure you all know about The Listener, but still I couldn’t possibly leave them off this list. This modern store has the coolest of the cool brands curated to absolute perfection all spread over two floors. You'll find the hottest brands around along with great gifts and cool finds for your home.
Stephanstraße 3
When Glore opened it's doors here in Frankfurt I was beyond excited! Finally, a store focusing on cool sustainable fashion. For those of you that are big into sustainable brands and accessories, this store is for you my friends! PS they have the coolest socks :)
Oeder Weg 51
Now let's talk about Fifty Eight. Here's the deal with this shop. It's insanely amazing. The problem, I can't visit too often as I will most definitely always find something and walk out broke! They carry some of the hottest LUXE brands around and I'm not talking boring LUXE, I'm talking woozier too cool for school LUXE. I wish their store was my closet.
Kronberger Straße 19
ONLINE
Indian Goods Company brings you the very best brands from India. We're not talking what you would consider typical Indian, but rather a curated selection of beautiful modern brands both for your closet and your home.
Hands down Japanese fashion is probably the best out there. Japanese fashion is interesting, most likely oversized, edgy and modern. The N-store brings you a selection of minimal Japanese fashion that works perfectly in anyones wardrobe.
I love visiting their website. It's like stepping into a Berlin boutique. Cool, a bit funky with a great selection of Indie brands.
Look no further for your swimwear and yoga wear needs. Started in Frankfurt (they just moved to Hamburg) the beautiful ladies from Inaska bring you sustainable wear for your mat and for the beach.
Let's not forget about the stylish men in our lives. For all the fashion conscience men, Uebervart is for you. From Comme des Garcons to Acne Studios to Stussy they have it. I get excited just thinking about it!
VINTAGE/SECONDHAND
I'm a girl from Midwest America and so I know a thing or two about vintage and thrifting. I love Vintage Revivals! They bring you a big selection of both secondhand and vintage clothing. Don't be afraid to dig right in, I promise you'll find some gems!
Wallstraße 25
If you're looking for some great secondhand designer pieces, this is where you’ll find it!
Zeil 10
If 80's windbreakers and logo tees are your jam, then OLA Ware is your place!
Danziger Platz 2-4
I found Issima on instagram. Boy is instagram a power tool to find the best shops, artists, locals. Annalisa brings you a beautiful whimsical selection of dresses and blouses and she's right here in Frankfurt!
Another instagram find. Olga from Scandic Mama brings you a lovely selection pretty collared shirts, funky dressed and chunky knits.
SMALLER/NEWER LABELS
Designed by Judith Jude. She designs a beautiful jewellery collection inspired by travels. The entire collection can be customised. I personally love her dog tag rings.
Valeria designs the most beautiful leather bags right here in Frankfurt. Be sure to check out her lovely selection. You can also visit her studio to see the bags in person.
Think Bali, the beach, the sound of the waves and beautiful sunsets. This is what I think of when I wear Moon Jewellery. Anne is inspired by her travels to Bali, the importance of self-care and magic!
Very new to the city, they carry a lovely selection of Korean fashion brands for adults and kids. They recently did a cool collaboration with Marimekko.
Diesterwegstraße 26
KIDS
Located in Nordend, this little shop is such a treasure trove full of beautiful pieces for the little ones.
