Originally from Pforzheim, the idea for the instruction as a men's tailor was settled very early in AL's (age-class 1969) mind.
As a teenager he already didn't like the material and cuts of the common clothes, so it was his grandma's turn to help him - she gave him the first entry to tailoring.
This first step was followed by an instruction as men's tailor at the Nuremberg Opera followed by the study of textile art at the Nuremberg Academy of Modern Arts and Fashiondesign in Hamburg.
After moving to Hamburg AL's marked interest in the emotional factor of special fabrics enflamed his love to Terry.
After several exercises and studies with the fluffy material in 2001 the first forms for pets and accessories appeared and are still part of his basic collection.
The funny uniques made of original material from the 50's, 60's and 70's quickly caused the interest of people with a sense for style and the particular.
Even the Lifestyle-Press was impressed and helped at last to bring AL's "Atelier für Frottier" into life.
Lovers about this towel fabric lived all over the world and booked AL's recycling Design. The "Atelier für Frottier" is today located in the most hip shopping mall in Hamburg's Karoviertel, the Marktstr 6. A new Trade Mark was born.
AL's love to Terry began on the flea-market. He soon developed a

With its hoop handle and flower-strewn fabric, the handbag is cute and appealing.
And it is free - except for the Saturday mornings that the 14-year-old pre-college student spent creating it.
Although New York's Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) itself celebrates 60 this year, getting them young is the policy of the vast training school, founded in 1944 and part of the New York State university system since 1957.
The junior weekend sessions on the blocklong campus in newly fashionable Chelsea are just one facet of a school that has Calvin Klein as its most illustrious alumni and a mission to offer a broad swathe of design, industrial and technical fashion education.
And whereas so many fashion colleges are privately run, including Parson's School of Design here, FIT reaches out to students whose budget may not be as large as their ambitions.
Joyce Brown, the school's president for the past six years, is proud to be extending that reach still further, by purchasing a 15-story building as a new residence hall, which will open in 2006, doubling the number of the existing 1,250 live-in students.
"I have been heartened by all that has been accomplished: a strengthened full-time faculty, vibrant program growth, new campus buildings, new technology," Brown said to the alumni.

Stars of stage, screen and music have worn Vera Wang's gowns to accept top awards for years, but Wang picked up her first trophy as the year's top womenswear designer Monday night.
"I'm really incredibly honored," Wang said. "Even at my age dreams in life can really come true."
The Council of Fashion Designers of America also selected John Varvatos as the best menswear designer.
Supermodel Kate Moss received an award for her fashion influence, following in the stiletto steps of previous winners Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman.
She wore a nude-colored strapless corset dress with a black lace overlay as she accepted her award from David Bowie.
She dresses in a way that means something. What Kate wears, others wear. And it's really Kate choosing it, not a stylist," Peter Arnold, the CFDA's executive director, said before the award show began at a black-tie gala at the New York Public Library.
Moss is probably best known for her super-slim figure, but she's also credited with popularizing the now ubiquitous Ugg Australia boots and the much coveted Balenciaga handbag. She's modeled for many of the top fashion houses, including Chanel and Burberry.
Diane von Furstenberg wore one of her signature wrap dresses as she was honored for her three decades in the fashion business.
