Embracing a vision of individuality and self-expression, the collection challenges societal norms and embraces a future where personal style takes centre stage. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of influences, the collection showcases a vibrant colour palette featuring scarlet, navy, and beige, juxtaposed against fabrics such as fine corduroy, checkered jacquard, eco-leather, and street denim. Through a careful balance of bold and muted tones, textures, and silhouettes, the design ethos celebrates the beauty of uniqueness in a world often characterised by conformity.

MARINA HOERMANSEDER

Marina Hoermanseder's latest collection for the Autumn/Winter season of 2024/2025 signifies a notable comeback, elevating the runway into a captivating display of haute couture. Following a hiatus of four years, the designer unveils a fresh ensemble under her esteemed label. Central to Marina Hoermanseder's collection is the surrealistic heart-shaped vase, serving as a focal point amidst the ensemble. Crafted with meticulous precision, the voluminous dress captivates with its unique silhouette and lustrous finish. Another standout piece is the leather "Venus Vase," drawing inspiration from the iconic Austrian archaeological artifact, the Venus of Willendorf.
