Harald Glööckler, real name Harald Glöckler[1] (born 30 May 1965[2] in Maulbronn), is a German fashion designer and entrepreneur, who became famous mainly for his rhinestone-studded and glittering creations.[3] Glööckler's trademark is a crown motif, which is often supplemented by a "POMPÖÖS" lettering.

Life

Glööckler's parents owned a restaurant. He has a brother who is two years his junior.[4] When Glööckler was 14 years old, his mother died by falling down stairs. This was regarded an accident by authorities, however according to Glööckler, the fall was caused by his father, to whom he never spoke a single word again, until he died in 1992, 13 years later.[5][6]

Glööckler was already interested in fashion in his youth and sewed evening gowns for acquaintances. He completed an apprenticeship as a retail salesman in the fashion store Sämann and was initially active as a salesman in the men's department of a fashion house in Mühlacker. On 30 November 1987,[7] he opened the fashion store "Jeans Garden" in Stuttgart together with his manager and life partner, a haberdasher called Dieter Schroth, where they initially sold mainly jeans and shirts designed by Glööckler.[8] Later, the name of the fashion business was changed to "Pompöös". In 1990 both founded a fashion label under the same name.[9] In 1994 they organized their first fashion show at the Stuttgart New Palace. A song with the title "Pompöös is my life" and a music video were produced for the show. In 1995, Glööckler, Schroth and costumed dancers performed as a music group called Pompöös at a fashion show and at several German TV shows such as Arabella and RTL Nachtshow. In the same year Gina Lollobrigida and Chaka Khan became both his customers and friends. Lollobrigida opened Glööckler's second fashion show, which took place at Stuttgart's Alte Reithalle and featured Chaka Khan and Grace Bumbry. In 1997 Glööckler was invited to Hong Kong to present his fashion show for the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Interstoff Asia trade fair. When he returned from Hong Kong, there were differences with an anonymous business partner, who retired in 1998 from the company following a dispute. The store in Stuttgart had to be closed afterwards. He was invited to Rome by Lollobrigida, where he discovered his love for painting. Back in Stuttgart, he opened an art gallery with his own paintings in 1998. In the same year Glööckler was invited to the Düsseldorf fashion fair CPD, for which he hosted the opening show, during which Brigitte Nielsen also presented her fashion.

In the year 2000 Glööckler moved from Stuttgart to Berlin. There, in 2002, he equipped the Christmas revue Jingle Bells at the Friedrichstadt-Palast with his creations and designed around 350 costumes for the dancers. In 2003, he received the award Berliner Bär from tabloid B.Z, and the Berlin city magazine tip, elected him among the "100 most embarrassing Berlineans". In 2009, he launched the 5000 Euro Harald Glööckler Angel Award, honoring every year women who excelled in humanity and social commitment. In 2011 Glööckler designed his own jewelry collection for the discounter Lidl.[10] In 2012 he created women's clothing and accessories in cooperation with the mail-order company bonprix[11] and also rolled out his own wallpaper collection.[12] In 2013, a collection followed in cooperation with the menswear label Masterhand, which was presented for the first time on 15 June 2013 at the wedding fair Interbride.[13] His first collection of lamps called "Glööckler by EGLO", which was turned into life in cooperation with EGLO Leuchten, could be seen for the first time at the 2014 Light+Building fair.[14] At the end of January 2015 Glööckler presented a napkin collection, which he designed exclusively for the Duni company.[15] In April 2015, the designer presented his paintings and sculptures for sale for the first time at a large vernissage in Berlin's Galerie Mensing. The works cost up to 50 000 euros.[16]

Since 2015, Glööckler lives with his business partner and life partner Dieter Schroth in Kirchheim an der Weinstraße.[17] Since 11 February 2015 they live in a registered life partnership.[18]

On behalf of the German Bible Society Glööckler designed a book slipcase for the new Bible edition that was issued on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the reformation in 2017.[19] He is a baptized Protestant, has left the church, but still identifies himself as a devout Christian who prays and reads the Bible regularly.[20]

In July 2018 Glööckler suffered from an anaphylactic shock, which he survived thanks to immediate emergency treatment.[21]

He only sold his fashion articles at first, but later interior decorating articles and furnishings designed by him were also available. He did further homeshopping hosting on QVC UK in the UK in 2008 and Shop Channel in Japan in 2009. In June 2010, he did his last show at HSE24, as he did not extend the current contract that ran out in November 2010. Since January 2011 he is under contract to QVC Germany.
