MICHELLE SCHUSTER

Michelle Schuster is a young one-person couture label with roots in Transylvania and based in Vienna. It blends precise tailoring with a deep awareness of materials, origin, and the female silhouette. The designs revolve around the corset as a symbol of structure, poise, and elegant strength, evolving into collections that embrace and accentuate the body rather than correct it.

At the heart of the label are natural materials: handwoven cotton, traditional lacework, genuine leather, and high-quality silk, much of it dyed in-house using natural methods. Some fabrics come from family archives, while others have been carefully sourced over time or acquired from small ateliers and artisan producers. They are preserved, reimagined, and thoughtfully chosen. Each piece carries stories and transforms them into modern, wearable one-of-a-kind garments: corsets, dresses, skirts, trousers, jackets, and coats for every season and occasion.

Michelle Schuster stands for clothing with character. Consciously created, rich in detail, guided by a love of beauty and craftsmanship. A textile language that allows both tenderness and expressive form. A feminine extravagance rooted in strength, radiant but never loud.

My vision:
I dream that my clients and the world will rediscover a new appreciation for fashion built on individuality, quality, and sustainability. Rather than mass production and throwaway culture, I hope my brand contributes to a more mindful relationship with clothing, one that honors the value of handmade pieces and natural materials.
I want my clients not only to wear beautiful garments, but also to develop an awareness of the social and environmental impact of the fashion industry.

For me, fashion is not about restraint, but about expression. With meaning, style, and soul.
