Reinhold Messner on the Urban Outdoor Clothing Trend
Reinhold Messner's Take on Urban Outdoor Fashion
Meran (dpa) - Legendary climber Reinhold Messner shares his thoughts on the growing trend of outdoor clothing within German city centers. At his Castel Juval residence near Meran, he remarked on how people seem prepared for a trek up Everest in pedestrian zones. At 79, he finds humor in this perspective but claims no guilt for promoting this fashion.
The Practicality Behind His Choices
Messner clarified that he, too, wears functional attire but emphasizes its practicality rather than any fashion intent. As a prominent figure in mountaineering, he prepares to celebrate his 80th birthday next month. Notably, he was the first to scale all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks, including Mount Everest. Despite his deep connection to the outdoor industry, he maintains that clothing choices should serve practical needs over style.
