Tanja Hellmuth, the founder and creative mind of Hellmuth.
Since the beginning of 2018, Tanja has been applying all her know-how to her own label, both in art and design as well as in strategy and brand development. Under her own name hellmuth. Tanja Hellmuth Studios she designs two dense collections a year, following the Japanese Wabi-Sabi motto: "Reduce everything to the essential, but don't remove poetry." The focus is on dresses. "With a dress you are always immediately dressed and you can style it both casual and elegant with the matching accessories," explains the designer. High-quality sweaters and skirts complete the collection.
Perfect fit and exciting prints meet ecological luxury
Fabrics have a special attraction on Tanja Hellmuth. Therefore, the selection of materials stands at the beginning of each design process: "Form follows material." Silk is her favorite and is the central fabric in all her collections. She finds the perfect shape for every fabric through elaborate draping and artistic cuts. As soon as the shape is set, she considers in the next step how she can adapt the sculptural designs to everyday life. The results are reduced looks that stand out thanks to unusual, flattering sleeve shapes, high-quality fabrics, and exciting prints.
