For the occasion of the launch of my collection 2 campaign, I had the opportunity to speak to Eva Hilinski about my design approach, the feeling behind this photoshoot and my ambitions for the future
Le concours Eyes on Talents x Première Classe l’a distinguée en 2023. Marie Bernadette Woehrl a testé aux Tuileries sa seconde collection, tout aussi expérimentale et sculpturale que la première. L’Allemande ne s’est pas installée à Anvers par hasard. « J’aime son ambiance artistique, son histoire de
la mode, dit-elle. Ma première expérience chez Ann Demeulemeester m’a beaucoup inspirée »
Winner of the Eyes on Talents x Premiere Classe competition in 2023, the designer will be at the event from 1 to 4 March with Collection 2.
The accessories designer answers our questions from Antwerp, where she lives.
Marie Bernadette Woehrl: “My craftsmanship is in the end result”
The German Marie Bernadette Woehrl only recently started her niche label of wearable leather creations and has already won a major award. She makes her designs herself by hand.
With 20 to watch, Flanders DC presents twenty emerging
talents, who recently took their first steps in the worlds of design or fashion. We believe they will have great success in the future.
