Andreas Murkudis (right) got into fashion retail in 2003 with the opening of his eponymous store in Berlin’s Mitte. Over time, the growing range of products – from clothing and cosmetics to home accessories – outgrew the space and in July 2011 the multibrand shop moved to its current location in Tiergarten. Nestled in a quiet courtyard, the former printing facility was redesigned by architect duo Gonzalez Haase AAS. The shop stocks Céline, Aspesi, Mykita, Maison Martin Margiela and smaller labels such as Susanne Kaufmann’s skincare, Consumed’s silk scarves and Hohgant’s babywear.
