Pitour_

Since working with Helmut Lang while completing her studies at the Vienna College of Applied Art (Wiener Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst), Maria Oberfrank has been busy designing clothing, accessories and jewelry for city-wanderers who value purism and understatement as important aspects of fashion.
For those who want to maintain their tendency for panache and attach a touch of subdued luxury, modern chic and sufficient opulence to a purist appearance, they can find what they are looking for with Pitour. Experimental imaginativeness, employed in every detail as a central theme, produces genuinely eye-catching pieces, accessories and jewelry for men and women.
The collections from Pitour certainly also express a fair share of Savoir Vivre and character. It brings out the sophisticated details and cheery ensembles from the elaborate design process.

Pieces by Pitour are a combination of Central-European austerity interwoven with a thread of passion and exuberance…

Artista_

The four designers of Artista established themselves as successes in the fashion scene in Budapest in 1994. While maintaining their success in the Hungarian capital, they have also understood, since the founding of the Combinat, how to capture the Viennese public with their very individual, if not emotional fashion concepts.

Alongside releasing seasonal collections and custom, one-of-a-kind pieces, the contributors to Artista have developed their expertise through many years of experience in various disciplines of styling, including costume work for films and television as well as organizing clothing and uniforms for major events. So don’t be surprised when you recognize various Arista designs in video clips, TV ads, image films, etc…

_km/a

Katha Harrer, the founder of the fashion label km/a, designs and
produces unique pieces as an antithesis to off-the-peg clothing
conformism. Her fashion is innovative, sporty, functional, unisex and
timeless. The pieces impress with their unusual materials, distinctive
individuality, comfortable wear and casual appearance. A conscious
emphasis is placed on handcrafting. Instead of using mass production
techniques, the designer relies on tried and tested manual bleaching
techniques. Each piece is thus given a personal touch and bears Katha
Harrer's signature in the truest sense of the word. She sees her
clientele as people who have their own lifestyle and also consciously
dress and make a statement. The label logo, based on a speedometer,
actually only means one thing: the fast-moving nature of fashion trends

Aquanauta_

The primary aspiration of the company’s philosophy is to offer the best in design as well as in implementation, whether it concerns a corporate uniform or an exclusive evening dress.
