Founded His Own Children's Clothing Magazine

Achim Lippoth was born in Germany in 1968. While establishing his unique genre with outstanding children's portraits and fashion photography, he founded the magazine "kid's wear" in 1995, which approaches children's fashion from a creative perspective, based on his firm belief that "children's clothing is not simply a downsized version of adult clothing." He became its director and earned acclaim for "the art of children's fashion magazines."

He continues to be active in many fashion magazines based on "kid's wear," and has also worked on advertising campaigns for brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Little Marc Jacobs, and Diesel. In recent years, he has expanded his activities to include directing films.

This exhibition showcases a curated selection of works from "kid's wear" that Achim has produced in recent years. Thirty pieces will be exhibited and sold from series such as "Consolation," which depicts various facets of family life, and "Phytology," which merges images of plants with those of young girls. Rare back issues of "kid's wear" magazine, along with related miscellaneous goods and stationery, will also be available for purchase. This promises to be an unmissable opportunity for Achim's fans.

Achim Lippoth's photographs possess a refined quality, brimming with meticulous and delicate concepts. Yet, he avoids imposing tasks on children, instead capturing the spirit of the times and the future reflected in their expressions. His inimitable photographs convey to us the profound world that children hold within them.
