CBR Fashion Group:
This is us!

We’re fast, and we have to be. It starts with our corporate structure and finishes with our employees. One needs a lean company with clearly defined tasks to work together efficiently toward a mutual goal. At Street One and CECIL, it’s all about cuts, materials and trends, or in short, fashion. The CBR Fashion Group’s other components are responsible for the infrastructure, i.e. IT, retail or eCommerce.
