Männer in Kamelhaarmänteln

"We forget the names, the stories, but we almost never forget the clothes." – The great storyteller Elke Heidenreich on the most beautiful triviality in the world.

Elke Heidenreich knows all about jackets and pants, skirts and hats – but above all, she knows about people. Everyone wants to look good, but isn't there so much more behind it? Why are those youth photos in a pleated skirt so embarrassing? Why do we buy things that neither fit nor suit us? When Elke Heidenreich talks about clothes, she talks about life itself: about herself at sixteen, about friends, about love and separation, telling stories that are both funny and sad in a way only she can, in which everyone can see themselves: whether it's in stretched-out jeans, in the wonderful blouse that has lost all its colors, or, in the worst case, in a camel hair coat.
