Gitta Banko

Gitta Banko is a model, stylist, and designer – and one of the women whose perspective on fashion I have valued for years. The fact that her label is available at ABOUT.ALEXA is therefore not merely a range decision, but a personal one.

Why Gitta Banko is at ABOUT.ALEXA

For every brand, I ask myself the same thing: Does it have its own signature? Can I use it to create special styles for my clients? With Gitta Banko, the answer was immediately clear.

She designs from the perspective of someone who has spent years styling others and standing in front of the camera herself. You notice this in the details: in the waist height of a pair of trousers, in the drape of a blouse, in the question of how a piece looks when you move in it – not just when you are standing still. That is knowledge you cannot acquire at a drafting board.

I think in terms of styles, not individual pieces. That is exactly what this label is made for: The pieces work well together and can simultaneously be combined with those from our other designers.

The collection at ABOUT.ALEXA

We carry a deliberately compact selection ranging from €129 to €449. The focus is on the pieces that truly anchor a wardrobe:

• Blouses and shirts – including the Esmeralda in white and Ash Wood, the Sophia in white, and the Lea in black
• Trousers and denim – the Shannon in several washes, the Avery in Ocean Blue and Light Grey, plus the Camille and the Sol
• Blazers, jackets, dresses, and tops as complementary pieces – among others, the Elenor blazer and the Mila dress in black

A special feature that is easy to miss online: The Elenor blazer, the Sol trousers, and the Camille trousers are available in the same grey-checked pattern. You can wear them as a complete suit look or combine them individually – two very different effects from the same three pieces.

How I combine Gitta Banko

The denim is the easiest starting point. The Shannon has a cropped O-shape silhouette that brings a lot of attitude – a simple top is all you need, and the look is complete. If you prefer something more understated, choose the Avery.

The white blouses are our most sought-after pieces from the label, and for good reason: A well-cut white blouse is the piece that decides whether a look seems unremarkable or special. With denim, it becomes casual; with the grey-checked blazer, it is immediately business-ready.

Unsure about the cut or size? We would be happy to show you the pieces in person in Dortmund – or you can book a personal styling appointment directly.
