At Heidi Klum’s Oktoberfest, Free-Flowing Beer and Lederhosen
Ms. Klum hosted her first “Heidi Fest” in Munich, a night of unadulterated German fun.
A who’s who of models, German celebrities, fashionistas, influencers and many others dutifully put on lederhosen, dirndls and wool socks in Munich on Thursday night for a collective reason: because Heidi Klum had invited them to.
“I would never do that,” said Kilian Kerner, a German designer, about wearing the traditional German garb that, for men, includes short leather pants, wool socks and a vest. “Only for Heidi.”
That was the feeling among many of the roughly 800 guests on Thursday night at the Hofbräuhaus München, one of the city’s oldest breweries, as Ms. Klum hosted her first Heidi Fest. (A name that rolls off the tongue so naturally, you may think you’ve been saying it for years.) The festivities were her interpretation of the longstanding German tradition of drinking large quantities of beer, getting together and singing sentimental German songs.
