An industrial hall becomes an oasis of well-being - VOSSEN stages textile comfort at the highest level. The traditional company Vossen celebrated its 100th anniversary with around 280 guests from the worlds of business, sport, fashion and culture at a glittering gala in the company's own production facility in Jennersdorf, Burgenland.
The extraordinary location was transformed into a sensual dream world by renowned star designer Andreas Stern. In the center of the otherwise barren industrial hall, he created an oversized cocoon of soft, flowing fabrics - in keeping with the cuddly materials that VOSSEN has always worked with.
The entire room was a feast for the senses: tablecloths, napkins, the red carpet - all the textile highlights came from the in-house VOSSEN weaving mill and were made exclusively for this event. With great attention to detail and the highest quality standards, an atmosphere was created that combined warmth, elegance and comfort in a unique way. The guests felt safe and comfortably enveloped - wrapped in soft light and decorative elements made from the finest terry cloth.
The festive evening was hosted by the charming presenter Silvia Schneider, who paid tribute to the past and present of Vossen with esprit and elegance. In her presentation, she emphasized the importance of the company as a driver of innovation in the textile industry and paid tribute to the people behind its success.
Celebrating 100 years
The crowning finale was an impressive show act, accompanied by star violinist Celine Roschek. During this journey through time, selected models from the various eras of the last 100 years were staged - a tribute to the combination of quality, design and timeless aesthetics that Vossen has stood for over a century. The highlight of the fashion show was a specially designed wedding dress made entirely of fine terry towelling.
The evening was enjoyed by Arabella, Kiesbauer, Alfons Haider, Benno Döller, Karin Teigl, Ekaterina and Christian W. Mucha, Birgit and Toni Polster, Michaela Kotásková, Elisabeth Schrenk, Stefan Koubek, Felix Gottwald, Bettina Assinger, Aniko Benkö (WKO), Daniela
