Advising

I was raised in Austria and grew up dressing in traditional costumes, fascinated by local myths and tribal rituals practiced in mountainous areas of my native country. I offer my own take on these rituals, inspired by my heritage and its similarities with other ancient cultures and beliefs.

My creative process results in a wholly contemporary wardrobe. The collection combines couture craftsmanship with ski gear, integrating traditional Austrian fabrics and deerskin from my grandfather’s tannery. Beyond exploring my own roots, I seek to reawaken the forgotten essence of shared practices of humanity.
