My first encounter with the performative aspect of costumes came during my childhood in Bern, as part of my training in classical ballet. I developed a conscious interest in costume design later on, whilst studying fashion design in Basel. During my studies and through various internships and projects in Berlin and Switzerland, I began to realise that I was particularly interested in the narrative aspects of clothing – the way it brings to life the moods and inner worlds of characters and tells stories. I am fascinated by the history of clothing, in everyday life, in theatre and in film, and its influence and dialogue with our society.
After completing my Bachelor’s degree in 2017, I moved to Paris. At the Institut Français de la Mode, I deepened my exploration of fashion as part of my Master’s degree and subsequently worked for fashion houses such as Lanvin and Lacoste. During this time, I worked on show collections, as well as collaborations with artists and other brands.
Since 2022, I have been working as a costume designer, creating costume and character concepts for theatre, opera, operetta and musicals.
