Backed on cotton canvas and Canson acid-free paper
PKZ by Charles Loupot
Iconic of PKZ advertising campaigns, Charles Loupot's poster for the autumn-winter 1921 collections shows a man standing up against the elements, from the blaze of autumn to the bleakness of winter.
PKZ clothing provides protection in all weathers without compromising on elegance.
PKZ, timeless elegance for men
Founded by Paul Kehl in 1881, PKZ (Paul Kehl Zurich) is Switzerland's oldest men's fashion brand.
PKZ has always focused on quality, elegance and modernity, both for its clothes and for its advertising campaigns. The brand called on the most innovative graphic designers of their time, including Charles Loupot, Ludwig Hohlwein, Stephan Krotowski, Otto Baumberger and many others. PKZ posters have left their mark on the history of Swiss and international graphic design. They have become highly prized by collectors.
Following the death of Paul Kehl in 1910, PKZ was renamed Paul Burger PKZ, then PKZ Burger-Kehl & Co.
