About Marie-Louise Müller
Marie-Louise Müller is a Berlin-based slow fashion label working in couture, wearable art, and accessories. Every piece is made by hand, through techniques such as crochet, embroidery, knitting, and hand sewing, using EU-sourced natural fibers. Upcycling sits at the core of the design process, and a single piece can carry hundreds of hours of handwork.
The label makes garments to order and repairs them free of charge for life, aiming to restore the emotional bond between wearer and garment. Its runway debut at Berlin Fashion Week, ESCAPIST GARDEN SS27, presented 19 looks and 2,500 hours of handwork, earning praise from Vogue Germany and wide coverage across fashion media. The label has since received multiple awards and been featured in leading publications and exhibitions.
