Couture at the VIENNA FASHION WEEK 2025

couture at its most diverse – and these designers in particular are in the spotlight

Sabine Karner takes the audience on a fashionable journey through the seasons: Her 2026 summer collection sparkles with lightness, fresh colors and clean lines. This is followed by the 2025 winter collection, which impresses with rich earth tones, luxurious fabrics and elegant evening dresses. Karner’s signature combines everyday style with opulent glamor and proves that versatility and aesthetics harmonize perfectly.

Michelle Schuster brings a different understanding of fashion to the catwalk. Her Viennese label stands for sustainable one-off pieces, made from natural materials and with great attention to detail. Her designs are full of handcrafted finesse and focus on individuality rather than mass-produced goods.

The sensational creations by Nicolas Dudek are sure to amaze: dramatic tulle, daring color contrasts and sophisticated corsages characterize his latest collection “Le Petit Prince”. A play of contrasts unfolds between minimalist, black styles and colorful tulle volumes. Dudek’s fashion makes a fashionable and social statement and shows how couture can be a statement.

With the new collection “You and I, blossom and grow – together…”, the Claudier label shows a very personal side of couture. Inspired by the connection between people and nature, the focus is on growth, closeness and mutual strength. Delicate colors, flowing fabrics and symbolic details reflect this idea. Her designs are poetic and quiet, yet clear in their message: fashion can be emotional – and tell stories.

Diana Saroni surprises with a completely different approach. Her couture collection defies expectations and creates dresses that are not simply “beautiful” – but extravagant, unforgettable and powerful. Intricate details, luxurious fabrics and bold silhouettes make this collection a tribute to women who prefer to stand out rather than blend in. Saroni is supported on the catwalk by two up-and-coming labels: Elise’s Atelier and RODECO by Olga Kuzovkova.
