The Secret Princess

- Aniko Balazs

THE SECRET PRINCESS is a partly non-industrial brand, designed by Aniko (Aniko Fashion & Design) and based on the authentic indigenous handcraft of the Berber women living in the Moroccan Sahara. The brand vibrates between individually handmade tye & dye fabrics, handcrafted glass bead embroideries handed down for generations and plant colors dyed leather, like for example with homegrown Indigo.

All this is matched with modern European style. The industrial part of the production will be crafted in the high fashion workshops in Veneto/Northern Italy. The idea of the brand grew on the authentic experience Aniko lived herself in the Moroccan Sahara. She spent some wonderful years in a loving relationship with the nomad Said, both going back and forth between the world of silent desert and a pulsing fashion business life in Vienna and Paris.

First Aniko wrote a book about their beginnings. Now she is developing her new brand. Aniko has known her partners in the Sahara personally for several years and her adventure has led to some warm friendships between her and these women from such a different world. Matching the Berber women’s handicrafts into a high fashion brand provides them an international market, giving them even more proudness for their inherited handworks and a step towards nancial freedom, as they get direct and fair payment.

Not only sustainable fashion, but this is also social fashion supporting and promoting indigenous traditional culture. Art to wear!

christA franZ

- Christa Franz

The creations of the christA franZ label are elegant, cheeky, sexy, ageless and captivate with that certain something. Evening dresses, wedding dresses and daywear are created in the designer's studio, all of which are her own designs and made with fine handcraft. On the second track, she designs couture dresses for the grand entrance. Her models are characterized by attention to detail, the selection of high-quality fabrics - preferably fibers made from wood - and the perfect craftsmanship. "My dresses focus on the individual personality of the wearer," says the designer, for whom sustainability is a must.

The current collection reflects the versatility of the label. The simple line underlines the unmistakable style, while being young and innovative at the same time. Traditional craft techniques are implemented in a modern way and thus interpret the "now". The wearers should feel expressive and self-confident in the models, which reflect the fashion designer's attention to detail with every (natural) fiber. The christA franZ studio is located in southern Styria, the best source of inspiration you can imagine. The designer has gained work experience in Paris, Lyon, Düsseldorf, Vienna and Graz, and her creations have been presented on the catwalks of Milan Fashion Week, Vienna Fashion Week, Maastricht and Bolzano.

National and international customers have long found their way to the studio in the middle of Austrian nature. - Winner of the GOLDEN AWARD – Sustainable Fashion Craft of the European Textile & Craft Award, Bolzano.

Unt!tled wearable Rt

- Anna Egger-Piskernik

founded in 2022 by the Austrian artist Anna Egger-Piskernik, is more than just a fashion label - it's a celebration of individuality, creativity, and the timelessness of art. The brand’s core philosophy is simple yet profound: Make your life more colourful – in any aspect. Unt!tled. transforms original artworks (acrylic on canvas) into wearable masterpieces, creating timeless, comfortable clothing that speaks to the uniqueness of each wearer. Anna Egger-Piskernik, who has been creating abstract art for as long as she can remember, took an unconventional path before founding Unt!tled. Despite spending many years in the corporate world, her passion for art always remained at the forefront. Her creative process is deeply influenced by nature, exploring the endless possibilities of colour combinations and harmonious compositions.

These inspirations give birth to one-of-a-kind patterns and signature prints, which are then transformed into unique, wearable designs. The essence of Unt!tled. lies in its ability to bring art to life in the form of slow fashion made in Europe. From custom-made light-flowing creations to ready-to-wear collections that include casual, sports, and swimwear, each piece is crafted to not only offer exceptional comfort but also express the personality of the wearer.

Just as art is timeless, so is the fashion created by Unt!tled. - designed to stand out and make a statement while remaining effortless and easy to wear. By merging the world of art with extraordinary everyday fashion, Unt!tled. is redefining the concept of wearable art. Unt!tled. garments are not just clothing; they are a canvas for self-expression, allowing you to showcase your individuality and creativity. Every piece tells a story, every design is a celebration of colour, and every collection is an invitation to make fashion a form of personal expression.
