About the People
About the Fashion Designer Miriam Herzog
Miriam Herzog is a trained fashion designer and focuses on subtle femininity, using lingerie in light pastel shades or black lace. Delicate cuts and silhouettes are transformed with a touch of poetry into extraordinary lingerie, casual and formal wear. Miriam’s hallmark is naturalness and authenticity. This is well reflected by the colours and materials she chooses. She always listens carefully to her customers‘ individual wishes, which results in tailor-made one-of-a-kind pieces, from underwear to coats.
Her latest style resulted in the new label ‘Rispetto’, which represents a glamorous, feminine fashion style without being provocative, using high quality materials such as velvet, wool, lace, silk and cashmere.

About the Author Andrew Weale
Andrew is every mother’s nightmare. After leaving Oxford University, where he was a Classics scholar at Trinity College, he decided to do something completely different and trained and worked as an actor and singer for nearly twenty years. After starring in the musical production of Beauty and the Beast at The SI Centrum in Stuttgart, he moved back to London and developed another career in children’s writing. He has won several literary awards for his books and poetry, and he teaches creative writing up to university level. However, he has another passion that is waiting in the wings: photography. Maybe there is yet another creative direction for him. Watch this space.
