Düsseldorf’s 1970’s and 80’s fashion and music was oscillating in between two extremes: on one hand side bands like Kraftwerk, Neu!, and La Düsseldorf built one point of origin for an international movement of electronic music. Abroad this movement was known and became famous under the label Krautrock.
A second focus of the underground movement was Punk. Besides Berlin and Hamburg Düsseldorf became one of the most active cities with bars like the Ratinger Hof and the Creamcheese. Located next to the art academy both institutions were connected with the local and national art scene (Imi Knoebel designed the Ratinger Hof in a radical way in 1976.)
The electronic music movement as well aspunk was highly influential on the fashion scene. Besides this underground movement Düsseldorf is well known for the Düsseldorf Fashion Days (previouslyCollection Première Düsseldorf) which was arisen from one of the biggest business to business trade fair.
