ALBERTO is pushing its newly revised shop concept and opening a premium pop-up in the Munich flagship store of the leading menswear specialist HIRMER. The 40-square-metre area was developed by Jochem Reichenberg, who also designed the ALBERTO concept store in Mönchengladbach. The result is a new meeting place for pants enthusiasts, with a focus on casual, lightweight pants. The lightness of the collection is emphasised by the high-quality, minimalist design of the pop-up area.

The pants label ALBERTO is all about keeping your style fresh and your look on point, no matter what the latest trends are. These pants are touchable classics. You'll feel the quality the moment you touch them. They’re an incomparable blend of style, function and comfort, and they make you stand out and look and feel great. For the 2025 winter season, the pant perfectionists are presenting a collection that exudes pure luxury with every fibre of the hand-picked fabrics. Modern dressy styles and jeans, corduroys and chinos – sometimes in distinctly slim silhouettes, sometimes in an exquisitely casual cut.

Mönchengladbach-based pants specialist ALBERTO has expanded its management team as of 2 January 2024. ALBERTO owner Georg Walendy, who has retired from active business operations, will be replaced by his children Anna Mühlen (née Walendy), in the role of Managing Director of Sustainability, Production, Logistics, Procurement and IT, and Philipp Walendy, in the role of Managing Director of Product Development. Both of them have been working in senior positions at the company for more than 15 years. Together with Marco Lanowy (Managing Director of Retail, Sales and Marketing) and Jürgen Schmiedel (Managing Director of Human Resources, Controlling and Finance), they will now jointly run the family business. Georg Walendy, who built ALBERTO together with Marco Lanowy and Jürgen Schmiedel into one of the most innovative pants suppliers over the past decades, will remain with the company as owner in an advisory role, but will retire from active management: ‘I can now hand over responsibility that I've cherished and loved for years, because my children have become part of the company, and when I see the vigour and inner conviction they bring to carrying on the ALBERTO philosophy, it makes me very proud. With Marco Lanowy and Jürgen Schmiedel on the management board, we can be sure of continuity and stability going forward.’
