About Lena

The success story began in a 50-square-meter Renaissance building in the heart of Graz, which served as Lena Hoschek’s first studio. In November 2005, the then 24-year-old opened her first store with self-sewn clothing. The outdoor fashion show, a defilee of a different kind, ended in a boisterous street party. “On that day, I sold my very first ribbon skirt. It was spectacularly beautiful for me. And it has remained a trademark to this day,” says the designer with an enthusiastic smile. What happened since then…

Born in 1981 in Graz, this meticulous dressmaker is a creative force, a determined entrepreneur, and a devoted mother to Johann and Apollonia. As a boss, she brings a unique blend of vigor and charm to her endeavors. It’s this dynamic spirit that permeates her fashion designs, seamlessly combining delicate and robust patterns with feminine cuts. The result is a collection that not only makes bold statements but also imparts a smart, tough, or playful attitude to those who wear her creations.

Our philosophy

We see it as our duty to uphold age-old, traditional craftsmanship. Whether it’s our biannual Prêt-à-porter and Tradition collection or our meticulously crafted Business Collection, quality, precision, and top-notch service form the bedrock of our corporate philosophy. These values not only permeate our products but also resonate in our enduring partnerships with talented producers, working hand in hand with us. Furthermore, our pursuit is not merely about chasing transient trends but rather about creating timeless, beautiful fashion that transcends the confines of seasons and generations.

Craftsmanship
