That was the beginning of his success story: followed by the presentation of his own collection in New York in the 50s – which first carried the typical A logo shaped like a horseshoe – it brought him further to Munich. It was there, that Etienne Aigner met Heiner H. Rankl, a businessman with just as much unmistakable sense of the future, as well as an appreciation for tradition. Therefore it comes as no surprise that Munich was the place of birth for the cult label AIGNER in 1965.
