escada

Founded in Munich in 1978 by Margaretha and Wolfgang Ley, Escada emerged as a leader in luxury womenswear by democratizing haute couture with a vision of “sporty elegance.” Margaretha, a former Swedish royal court seamstress and model, applied her technical skills to create collections defined by confident femininity, masterful tailoring, and a distinctive use of bold color and intricate prints. This vibrant approach offered a high-fashion alternative to the more subdued palettes of the era, quickly attracting a global following for its sophisticated daywear, tailored suiting, and glamorous evening attire.
