Both designers already knew from the start that they wanted to commit themselves fully to the fashion world:

Isabelle Kohlhaas maintained discipline throughout the years, always focussing on her goals. While studying for her graduation in Textile and Clothing Management, she also successfully completed an apprenticeship as a women’s tailor.

Her learned and achieved skills in craftsmanship and subsequent studies introduced her to necessary abilities to become a highly successful, self-employed designer.

Peter Zimmermann grew up as the son of drapers, and already knew from the beginning that he wanted to be part of the fashion world. He became a significant part in the development of the brand and their collections.
