Harald Gl\u00f6\u00f6ckler was born and raised in Germany, but his early life was far from glamorous. Beneath the sequins and his obsession with elegance lies a heartbreaking past.<\/p>\n
When Harald was only 14, he lost his mother under tragic circumstances. The official explanation was a fall down the stairs \u2014 but Harald has always believed his father was responsible.<\/p>\n
Drawn to fashion and art from a young age, he launched his first boutique in 1987 alongside a business partner. From the start, his style was anything but conventional \u2014 think gold accents, rhinestones, crowns, and lots of sparkle.<\/p>\n
His motto? Life is too short to be dull.<\/p>\n
That same year, he created his now-iconic brand, POMP\u00d6\u00d6S<\/em>, based on one simple belief: every woman deserves to feel like royalty.<\/p>\n
