Men's button up shirts LIEBE – Wear the Art of Love
The LIEBE short sleeve shirt, designed by the renowned Leipzig artist Michael Fischer-Art, is a true piece of wearable art. This men's short sleeve button-down casual shirt bursts with vivid colors and comic-style illustrations, expressing the many forms of love and joy. The hand-drawn figures that cover the shirt tell a playful yet meaningful story of human connection and emotion. With bright tones like red, blue, yellow, and pink, this shirt makes a bold statement wherever you go.
A Story That the Shirt Tells
A few weeks ago, I wore my LIEBE short sleeve shirt to a summer gathering by the lake. It was a warm, sunny afternoon, and as we enjoyed our drinks, several people commented on my shirt. “That design is incredible!” one of my friends said. I explained that it was created by Michael Fischer-Art, a Leipzig-based artist known for his colorful and large-scale murals. His works often explore themes of love and joy, and this shirt is no exception.
I told them that every time I wear the shirt, I’m reminded of the different ways love can show up in our lives—playful, vibrant, and sometimes unexpected. Just like the comic-like characters on the shirt, love is always around us if we choose to see it. My friend smiled and said, “I’ll remember that every time I see bright colors from now on.” Since that day, this shirt has become my reminder to carry love and joy with me wherever I go.
Exclusive Features and High-Quality Craftsmanship
This men's casual short sleeve shirt is made from 100% cotton, a natural and breathable fabric known for its durability and comfort. It remains fresh even after hours of wear, as it doesn’t absorb sweat odors. The shirt is perfect for everyday wear and special occasions, offering all-day comfort and long-lasting quality.
The button-down collar features the unique GERMENS collar notch at the back, adding an extra touch of sophistication to this artistic piece. The buttons are securely fastened with stalks, ensuring they stay in place. Additionally, the shirt’s stitching, at 7 to 8 stitches per centimeter, guarantees high durability, making this shirt a long-term favorite. Unlike its long-sleeve counterpart, this men's shirt casual does not have metal collar stays, giving it a relaxed, summer-ready feel.
Artistic Design and Unique Fit
The LIEBE short sleeve shirt goes beyond being just a casual shirt. It represents a fusion of art and fashion. Created by Michael Fischer-Art, known for his vibrant and large-scale public artworks, this design is immediately recognizable for its comic-style graphics. The surface design is expertly adapted to the shirt’s form, making each piece unique and more extravagant than most other colorful shirts available on the market.
Available in 10 sizes from XS to 6XL, this shirt allows men of all shapes and sizes to express their individuality through an artistic and comfortable piece.

About GERMENS
GERMENS artfashion – art to wear
GERMENS is more than just fashion. It is an extraordinary concept that combines art, individuality and sustainability. Since it was founded in 2010, GERMENS has stood for wearable works of art – each item of clothing is created in collaboration with international artists and is absolutely unique in its design.
Why GERMENS? Because we rethink fashion. Instead of producing mass-produced goods, we manufacture exclusively to order or in small, limited editions. This reduces overproduction, conserves resources and makes every GERMENS piece something special. Our fabrics come from Saxony and are made into high-quality shirts, blouses and T-shirts in Europe – with attention to detail and precision craftsmanship.
GERMENS stands for exceptional designs that emphasise the character of the wearer. For quality that you can feel. And for an attitude that sees fashion as an expression of personality and culture.
GERMENS is fashion for people who don't want to look like everyone else – but like themselves.

What is special about GERMENS?
extravagant artist designs
René Koenig and numerous external artists create their designs directly on special templates that correspond exactly to the cuts of GERMENS clothing. The result is a surface design that fits perfectly on every item of clothing – an interplay of art and fashion in perfect form.
Exclusive designs - printed to fit perfectly
GERMENS only uses its own designs, which are only available here. For each garment – in every size from XS to 6XL – the pattern pieces are printed individually and accurately on high-quality cotton fabric.
The fabric is then finished so that the colours remain permanently brilliant, the fabric is washable, suitable for everyday use and comfortable to wear – without any unpleasant odours.
Careful cutting by hand
GERMENS only produces what has actually been ordered. This is very sustainable and ensures lasting value. After printing, the fabrics are cut to size – in the traditional way, by hand. The skilled worker is visually orientated to the design and cuts each piece individually. The result is a perfect fit in which art and cut interact perfectly.
Careful manufacture in the factory
After cutting, the many individual pieces are sewn together in a Polish family business with great care and many years of experience. High-quality finishing details – such as finely stitched edges or buttons with handles – and fine fabrics guarantee that every GERMENS garment will give you long-lasting pleasure.Who wears GERMENS?
