GERMENS shirts stand for high-quality fabrics and unusual designs created by artists. The colors and the art motifs that characterize the overall impression of the shirts shown here - and many other Gabano plagiarisms - have been adopted almost 1:1, only the arrangement and tiny details have been changed or the view rotated. Gabano's German website is in English and does not contain an imprint. The address given on Facebook is also not available. Trendy buzzword buttons such as "design process" and "sustainable production" lead nowhere. A German online retailer offered the plagiarism for a seventh of the original. He has signed a cease-and-desist declaration.
