Clothes make the man - From bulky waste to tailored suits

He's always there when old sofas, rusty shelves, broken light fixtures, or old carpets sit on the sidewalk, waiting to be disposed of. He makes sure that mattresses or furniture that is no longer needed after a move is picked up: Harald Ungerer, driver and loader at Frankfurter Entsorgungs- und Service GmbH. He is responsible for collecting bulky waste at the agreed time. FES offers this service free of charge to all Frankfurt citizens for up to 10 m³ of bulky items.

With his colleague Willi Leimroth, he heaves the sometimes heavy items into his Mercedes Eceonic. The 3-axle truck can take up to 10 tons of wood, metal and other bulky waste. He has been doing this physically demanding job for 26 years. He compensates for back problems with well-dosed fitness. He is also passionate about bowling in the company sports group and likes to tinker with his dream car, a VW Bus T3, in his spare time.

Harald Ungerer didn't have to work hard at Nikita Kulikov's photo shoot for the "Clothes make the man" campaign, though. Custom tailor Stephan Görner simply exchanged Ungerer's orange FES outfit for a blue linen suit with a check pattern. He wore a pink shirt with white collar and cuffs and a matching pink bowtie with it.

The FES driver and loader is one of twelve occupations chosen this year by campaign team Goerner, Mueller and Kulikov to showcase people who do physically hard or dangerous work. In costume or tailored suits, these people are photographed to express recognition, appreciation and respect for these professionals who do not normally go about their work in tailored suits.

At the end of the year, Ungerer and the other eleven "amateur models" will be presented to 450 guests at the charity gala "Kleider machen Leute".

Lord Mayor Peter Feldmann is also expected to attend on 11 November 2017 at the Gesellschaftshaus Palmengarten, alongside famous guests from the worlds of sport, culture, fashion, politics and show business. The star guest of the evening will be Marianne Rosenberg, who will perform her most beautiful hits. The gala will be hosted by Evren Gezer.

She also announces five celebrities on the evening, who will stroll down the catwalk in tailor-made suits or costumes by Stephan Görner.

The proceeds from donations and a raffle will benefit the Leberecht Foundation, which supports children and their families who are not on the sunny side of life. Tickets including a champagne reception, all drinks, a candlelight dinner cost 250 euros in the ballroom, 195 euros in the gallery and can be purchased via the homepage <link http: www.kleider-machen-leute.net _blank>Www.kleider-machen-leute.net ordered.
