Lagenlook
What is lagenlook? It is the art of mixing colours, patterns and fabrics to create a harmonious – or sometimes intentionally dissonant – ensemble. It is what makes layering pieces so versatile and unique. Dressing in layers is more than a practical response to changing weather. It is a creative process that allows your personality to really shine through.

A lagenlook dress? Yes please! Imagine a lovely dress made of organic cotton, its playful stripes or budding florals setting a charming tone. Layer a longer tunic adorned with eye-catching roses, embroidery and borders on top, and add a cosy knitted waistcoat whose pattern brings autumn forests to mind. Complete your look with a colourful shawl as the pièce de résistance! Effortlessly, you have created a lagenlook that is as dynamic and vibrant as you are.
Layering is very much about being bold and adventurous. Daring to mix and match colours, patterns and textures in ways that feel right for you. Work some layering magic with a thin lyocell top beneath a chunky wool cardigan. Or perhaps a playful dotted long-sleeve sweater over a short-sleeve tunic with a geometric print? Team a pair of soft jersey trousers with a woven pinafore dress, or a skirt with floral broderie anglaise along the hem with a rose-printed kaftan dress. Enhance your layered look with elements of the unexpected – a pop of colour, a statement pattern, a mix of fabrics – that’s what makes the style so unique and inspiring. It takes a bit of courage to experiment with combinations, but once you do, you’ll discover a layering style that brings a distinct charm to your look.
Layering pieces perform all year round. In summer, layer a lightweight cotton dress in rooibos red over pale indigo linen trousers for a fresh and breezy feel. As autumn makes its stealthy approach, reach for jersey, velour and knitted pieces. And the winter months? Beat the chill by layering up in colourful woollen knitwear. Springtime? Layers of lightweight fabrics and pleasing pastels are a real pick-me-up for spring.
In Gudrun’s vibrant world, lagenlook is more than just a style of clothing – it is a lifestyle. Here, the beauty of nature comes together with influences from all corners of the globe. The clothes in our collections transition over the years and are designed to complement each other.
