In 1987, at the age of 22, Harald launched his first boutique, Jeans Garden, on one of the busiest streets in the bustling city of Stuttgart. He ran the store alongside his manager and life partner, Dieter Schroth, a haberdasher.
Three years later, Glööckler founded his most famous clothing brand, Pompöös. His success was boosted by celebrity clients like Gina Lollobrigida, Brigitte Nielsen, and Chaka Khan.
Since opening his own boutique, Glööckler has become a prominent figure in the fashion world. Known for his extravagant clothing and appearances in teleshopping, he designs a range of products — including fashion, cosmetics, and bags — that are sold in over 80 countries.
He is, of course, most famous in Germany but has also garnered significant international attention. These days, he paints and sells his artwork, and he has even designed his own jewelry collection. In recent years, he has been a permanent judge on Germany’s Let’s Dance. He has also ventured into music and starred in the documentary Harald Glööckler: Prince of Fashion.
”My success happened because I’m very authentic — people love that. And at the end, I’m a very clever businessman,” Glööckler told Fashion Week.
