The designers Livia Ximénez-Carrillo and Christine Pluess met at Esmod School of Design in Berlin and soon discovered that they both had in common being from multicultural backgrounds: their roots origin from Germany, Switzerland, Peru and Spain. They launched their label in 2006.

Neglecting ethnic, national and generic barriers they combine pieces of a cultural kaleidoscope creating a different style. Uncompromisingly mixing masculine severity and straightness with female delicacy together with high-quality materials they present a look that is elegant and exclusive as well as sexy and cool.

You´re attention loving? Well, you’ll be getting attention! Wearing Lena Hoschek places you directly into the spotlight of the ultra feminine.

After assisting Vivienne Westwood at her London studio, Lena Hoschek started her own label in 2006 at the age of 24. Her collections do not follow trends or the general conception of ‘cool’, they are simply a reflection of what has fascinated her since her childhood: the female ideal of the 40s and 50s, craftsmanship, high-end tailoring, traditional materials and patterns but also rock ‘n’ roll and punk music, tattoos, bad guys and fast cars.

Celebrating the erotics of the Pin-up who didn’t take herself too seriously, her clothes are made for all the Sophia Lorens and Marilyn Monroe’s of today. Lena Hoschek’s collections take you back to times when women were real women and men were real men. I bet, when designing, she secretly dreams of Rhett Butler.

Yujia’s cashmere emphasis on unconventional combinations of details, colors and silhouettes.
