A Legacy of Fashion, Film, and Global Innovation

FashionHarp® is a premier global platform that celebrates the worlds of fashion, beauty, trends, and film. It provides filmmakers with the opportunity to submit their works to prestigious festivals worldwide, covering key film events such as red carpet appearances, premieres, and acclaimed awards like the Oscars, Cannes, and Venice Film Festival. Founded in June 1996 by Karl Lagerfeld under the name Ready to Wear (RTW), FashionHarp® took a hiatus from 2002 to 2018. Upon rebranding in 2018, it transformed into a dynamic hub, catering to both industry professionals and fashion enthusiasts alike.

The Evolution of Accessible High-End Fashion

The concept of Ready-to-Wear (RTW) fashion revolutionized the accessibility of high-end fashion. Influential designers such as Paul Poiret, Christian Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent played pivotal roles in its development. Dior’s 1947 "New Look" and Saint Laurent's 1966 "Rive Gauche" collection were particularly instrumental in establishing RTW as a respected and integral sector within the fashion industry.

Empowering the Future of Fashion and Film

FashionHarp® was founded with the vision of being a premier entertainment media brand, providing comprehensive reporting, analysis, and insightful reviews. The platform exclusively showcases designers, offers dynamic portfolios, provides Fashion Week calendars, and streams live events. Today, FashionHarp® remains a key player that connects and empowers the global fashion and film industries, fostering dialogue and shaping the future of both sectors.

Pioneering Access and Visibility in the World of Fashion

In its early years, FashionHarp® significantly contributed to democratizing access to Fashion Week events, elevating the visibility of fashion shows, and boosting the profiles of iconic fashion houses. The platform set new standards for fashion media by offering an inclusive and insightful perspective on the fashion world.

Continuing Karl Lagerfeld's Legacy Through Innovation and Global Growth

Following the passing of Karl Lagerfeld, FashionHarp® continued to thrive under the leadership of Roy Bushmann, Chloe Jasmine, and Cindy Koopmans. Together, they expanded the platform’s global presence while honoring Lagerfeld's legacy. Their focus on communication, innovation, and data-driven strategies strengthened connections between brands and their audiences.

Revolutionizing Fashion Media with Seamless Global Connectivity and Streaming

The platform now operates multiple channels, including FashionHarpOfficial.com, FashionHarp.com, FashionHarpMagazine.com, FashionHarpRunway.com, and FashionHarpTV.com, offering continuous, high-quality streaming content tailored for digital editors. These platforms connect models, creative talent, magazines, and brands, while also managing critical logistics for international collaboration.

Expanding Fashion Media with a Global Television Channel

In February 2020, FashionHarp® launched as a global television channel dedicated to fashion. This expansion broadened the platform’s content to include trend reports, event coverage, celebrity news, and educational programming, solidifying its position as a leading authority in fashion media and further expanding its global reach.
