The Graz-based label Claudier presented a two-act show at VIENNA FASHION WEEK: the new prêt-à-porter Autumn-Winter 2025/26 collection and the haute couture Spring-Summer 2026 collection. Together, they tell a story of transformation, growth, and the magic of natural change.
The first part of the show featured structured business looks in muted shades of gray, white, and brown. Clean cuts and precise silhouettes radiate calm, discipline, and elegance—“apartheid, grace, charisma” are the three words that best describe this part, according to the designer herself.
In the second part, the collection opened up towards spring: flowing fabrics, floral patterns, and soft pastel shades create a feeling of new beginnings. The designer explains: “Inspiration from nature is a central theme for me—be it a forest path or a stream where the sun’s rays dance. It is precisely from moments like these that my ideas flow.” The materials and quality of the fabrics also play an important role for Claudier: silk, linen, viscose, and recycled fibers form the basis of the designs.
The haute couture collection, which the designer describes as “blooming, shining, awakening,” culminates in a modern bridal couple staging at the end of the show—a powerful symbol of harmony and new beginnings.
