K+J said yes in february. The bride wore a silk duchesse dress with a corseted top and basque waist, wich ended at ankle length, combined with seperate lace sleeves with a silk ribbon tied at the top. A little lace bonnet was made instead of a classic veil.

A+M in august. I had the honor to custom design and craft two sets in dupion silk for @adelheidastner . The focus was on the sleeves as the central part of attention on the looks, inspired by victorian sleeveshapes. We quickly found common ground and the designprocess was very fluent. I even found a perfectly colourmatching vintage lace for the veil. The bride decided later on that she wanted a second set and she decided on the day how she would combine the pieces- settling for the skirt and long armed blouse for the ceremony and the shorter pieces for the party. This was the second studio terrible bride and it’s very special and emotional to become part of this special day and be trusted like this.

scarftop knitted in vienna with orgaic cotton yarn. a simple everyday piece, yet a unique item, which can be worn different ways through the attched scarf 🥚
lover‘s embrace vase
a unique piece, connected at the core, intertwined and playful. Melted together, a mutual support, yet growing apart independently in an almost embrace, leaning towards each other, almost touching.

another behind the scenes of the making of a bridal dress for one of the most important women in my life. we started the process in november, looked into elements she likes and quickly decided on her custom design- corseted bodice, basque waist and lace. creating sample pieces, shopping for the perfect lace for two hours, a change in the original design mid process, not being sure about the sleeves until the last fitting. Learning to listen and adjust to someone else’s vision instead of just mine. and in the end we found what felt right for the bride by adjusting and implementing her beautiful visions such as ribbons on the detached sleeves- a collaborative process. I enjoy crafting even the small pieces by hand, handsewing the ribbons or handpressing buttons. it‘s still very special to be trusted for this most special of looks in someone‘s life, it’s a challenge, it‘s pressure and als it’s really rewarding to create something so personal, beautiful and meaningful.
ps: I fucking love you Kaja and you were a deadly gorgeous bride
