Karlotta Wilde (1984) was born and raised in
Hamburg, Germany. At the age of
20, she started her fashion design studies at the
Akademie für Mode & Design in Munich. After her graduation in womenswear design in
2008, she worked for designers like
Ann-Sofie Back or
Sonia Rykiel and gained experience in the luxury segment of the fashion industry. While living in
Paris,
Karlotta started to work on her first collection for her own label, which she launched
2010 in Berlin.
She combines hard and soft, transparent and
opaque, firm and flowing. With the use of high quality and
delicate fabrics, she creates an unagitated, pure style, that makes her design stand for a discreet but yet abstract, timeless and always wearable coolness. In
July 2011,
Karlotta Wilde was honored with the
Premium Young Designers Award.
