Around 500 invited guests braved the freezing cold and came to the Palais Campofranco on Bolzano's Waltherplatz to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Luis Trenker brand with us. Among them were South Tyrol's governor Arno Kompatscher and former ski racer Isolde Kostner – both big fans of our fashion – as well as numerous customers, producers and partners who have been with us for many years.
For example, part of the team from the Grasegger fashion and traditional costume house in Garmisch-Partenkirchen honoured us by travelling to the event especially for the occasion. As did our long-standing shoe manufacturers, the Zorzi family from Treviso, a renowned fabric manufacturer from Modena and many other colleagues from a wide range of industries.
We are particularly proud of those who guided our audience through the evening from the stage: the well-known ORF presenter Rainer Pariasek, who has been a friend of the brand for many years and has already hosted several Luis Trenker events, and the up-and-coming young talent Stella Turian, who has already secured a job at Sky News in Milan.
The event was officially opened in style by the band from Michi's home village of St. Andrä near Brixen – a successful musical contrast to the rest of the evening, which was accompanied by DJ Ralph Cieli, singer Jana Campanella and saxophonist Matteo Marasco. One of the highlights was our Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, which was presented by 20 models on the catwalk around the legendary ginkgo tree. Some of the models also have a long-standing friendship with our brand and the people behind it: some of them have been walking the catwalk for us for over 25 years!
Some of our employees have been working for Luis Trenker for almost as long: Michi invited them onto the stage at the end of the show and presented them with a bouquet of flowers as a small token of gratitude and appreciation. He repeated the same gesture for a few selected partners and customers who have been supporting him for decades, and for our designer Gionata Malagodi, who has been with the brand for 14 years now.
After the show, the Stecher family from the META restaurant treated our guests to pumpkin cream soup and Leberkässemmel – authentic and down-to-earth, as is typical for us. We also exhibited the collection at the MG Decorations by Maya Gruber flower shop, which also provided the decorations for the event, so that interested parties could take a closer look.
The Luis Trenker Style Night once again demonstrated what sets us apart: moments that give you goosebumps, fashion that conveys a unique attitude to life, and people who exude positive energy and team spirit.
