Since 1891 \u2013\u00a0The Cutting System of Generations<\/h2>\n

While trends may come up, evolve and vanish again, a perfect fit will never go out of style.<\/p>\n

Being driven by high-end tailoring, the Munich-based founding company of today’s \u00bbRundschau Verlag Otto G. K\u00f6niger GmbH & Co.KG\u00ab was successfully led through various decades. Two family dynasties stood at the top of the traditional business. The path of founder Michael M\u00fcller and his successor Otto Georg K\u00f6niger and family is characterized by hard work, new ideas, numerous projects and many successes, but also by crises. The private educational institute for fashion and cutting technique, together with its affiliated specialist publishers, represented a time frame of fashion and patternmaking history.<\/p>\n

Trends and temporary fashion of all kinds are in rapid change. But what would the valid, stylistic form of a garment be without its impeccable fit?<\/p>\n

Specializing on cutting technique and pass-proof processing, the technical school \u00bbM.M\u00fcller & Sohn\u00ab has always stood out from other fashion or master schools. In addition, the cutting system developed by Michael M\u00fcller was a revolutionary step in the field of cutting at that time and able to gain and maintain international acceptance. Cutting by proportional calculation is easy to learn, captures the most diverse body deviations accurately and is time-saving as well as easy to use. The so-called \u00bbM\u00fcller-System\u00ab ensured the clothing industries masterful processing possibilities. It is delightful that a traditional company such as \u00bbM. M\u00fcller & Sohn\u00ab has been successful for decades, especially in this fast-moving age we live in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The company today<\/h3>\n

Today, the more than 100-year-old traditional company publishes specialist books, unique patterns as well as eBooks providing a wide variety of professional and technical information. In addition, the specialist magazine \u00bbM. M\u00fcller & Sohn\u00ab is published six times per year. The internationally recognized and acclaimed fashion magazine for tailors, designers and the industry features current ladies’ and men’s fashion trends, model illustrations, specialist technology with cut designs and the included pattern sheets. The magazine also provides information on important fashion events, the market situation and latest news from the trade associations.<\/p>\n

Independent of the publishing house, the cutting school M\u00fcller & Sohn<\/a> with its headquarters in D\u00fcsseldorf also continues to exist.<\/p>\n

Fashion is always of interest \u2013 for the whole world and at all times. Especially when the various materials follow their fit like a \u00bb<\/strong>second skin\u00ab.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is a cutting\/patternmaking system?<\/h3>\n

A patternmaking system serves to correlate the numerical values obtained during measurement, which correspond to the circumference and the longitudinal extent of the human body in a way that the body surface is reconstructed in a plan-based manner from these measurements. This results in the cut parts of the individual, different types of garments, which must be considered in addition to the perfect fit and the respective fashion style.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u00bbWe have always felt the urge to get to the bottom of patternmaking and it is ever-present due to our demanding clientele.\u00ab \u2013 Michael M\u00fcller, 1893<\/em><\/h4>\n
