I created von Burgsthaler as an extension of the same world I build through music, image and art direction.

I work with rescued garments, vintage sportswear, denim and found textiles, then rework them through cyanotype, drawing and visual references pulled from sapphic mythology, damaged romance, classical iconography and pop culture. I’m not interested in trend product, decorative upcycling or clothes that feel like they were designed by an algorithm. I want pieces with memory, irregularity and a visible hand behind them.

Each piece is one of one. Nothing is mass-produced, nothing is repeated exactly, and process is part of the final result. Stains, shadows, marks and imperfections are not something to erase but part of the language. What I’m after is the tension between ruin and glamour, softness and severity, romance and bite.

Von Burgsthaler is my way of making clothing that feels closer to an artifact than a product, a wardrobe built from obsession rather than polish.
