Herbert HOFMANN

As one of the world’s most astute fashion buyers, Herbert Hofman ranged across the world, taking his pick of the offerings on catwalk and in showroom alike. It’s a far cry from life in the small mountain town of Landeck, Austria, where he grew up, and even now – as creative director of e-commerce for Highsnobiety in Berlin – he still finds fuel for his imagination in visiting other countries. We chat to him about finding happiness in new cultures, using travel as a catalyst for creativity, and where he recommends visiting while in Berlin and Milan.
