Magdalena Leitner opens her collection at VIENNA FASHION WEEK with gentle music, transporting the audience into a harmonious setting. Earthy natural tones, floral and checkered patterns, and flowing silhouettes meet 1950s aesthetics and modern, deliberately sustainable cuts. The collection combines nostalgia and contemporary elegance, with classic inspirations meeting sophisticated cuts and innovative materials.
The designs range from wrap skirts and feminine rockabilly dresses to floor-length dresses with delicate embroidery patterns. Natural materials such as viscose, satin, jacquard fabrics, and silk are skillfully used and processed with wrap techniques and draping, giving each silhouette a flexible fit, high wearing comfort, and an elegant line. Small details such as pleats, pattern accents, and elaborate embroidery underscore the craftsmanship and lend the designs individuality and expressiveness. The designer pays particular attention to sustainability: all fabrics used come from responsible sources, some with recycled fibers, reflecting Leitner’s commitment to combining timeless fashion with environmental awareness. The collection plays with proportions, volume, and movement, so that each garment on the catwalk has its own effect and emphasizes the personality of the wearer. The grand finale of the show is an ivory-colored, floor-length dress with lace details, whose flowing cut particularly highlights the quality of the materials. The presentation clearly shows how Magdalena Leitner skillfully combines classic inspiration, modern cuts, and sustainable fabrics to create a collection that is elegant, wearable, and visionary at the same time.
