"My experiences allowed me to see fashion from a different perspective and come up with a unique point of view, which I brought to the collection I envisioned"
While launching her eponymous collection, von Holzhausen’s aim was to find a better way of creating accessories with a focus on sustainable style, merging an ethical approach with a minimalist vibe.
