Fogal Store Zürich Stadelhofen

Allgemeine Informationen

FOGAL celebrates women and the beauty of her legs, since 1921.

When the shape of a stocking lends perfection to a woman’s leg, shaping it advantageously and embracing it with sensuous materials and textures, therein lies the total FOGAL statement.

The FOGAL brand stands for unparalleled expertise in the hosiery sector, a reputation earned by over 95 years of experience in the business. From the very beginning, FOGAL focused on its customers’ demands for a reliable product. The skill and knowledge in the manufacture of its products – hosiery, legwear and fashion – represent the extraordinary potential the brand possesses.

Natural fibers such as cashmere, wool and silk are instilled in FOGAL's identity and conjure timeless luxury to the touch.

The collection is made in Italy and Switzerland.

HERITAGE
The invention of Nylon stockings (1938) ushered in a boom time at FOGAL. As the first Swiss importer of this revolutionary legwear, Fogal once again proved his fine-tuned sense of innovation and elegance.
Women often queued up in long lines in front of FOGAL shops to get their own pair of the new ‘Nylons’. The faces expressed that much more disappointment when after just a few hours the stock was sold and the shop had to close for business.

FOGAL & ART
The successful co-operation with artist Allen Jones in 1974 sparked subsequent collaborations, with an international array of renowned artists engaged by FOGAL to design tote/shopping bags and advertising materials. Among them were Donald Baechler, Erté, C.O. Paeffgen, Nicola de Maria, Sandra Chia, Mimmo Rotella, George Condo and Malcom Morley.
In 2013, FOGAL designed the legwear in cooperation with Catherine Martin for the remake of the Hollywood film production "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Cary Mulligan. Catherine Martin went on to win the Oscar for best costume design in "The Great Gatsby"!
