David Meister

This collection for David Meister is rooted in an exploration of vintage couture, with a focus on the refined elegance of 1950s–1960s fashion houses such as Dior and Balenciaga. Through researching this era of elevated design, I was drawn to the sculptural silhouettes, precise tailoring, and masterful use of draping that defined couture at the time.

Using drape as the foundation of the design process, I reinterpreted these historic influences through a modern lens. The collection emphasizes fluid construction, soft structure, and intentional shaping to create garments that feel both timeless and contemporary. By translating classic couture techniques into updated proportions and cleaner finishes, the designs honor the romance and sophistication of mid-century fashion while aligning with David Meister’s modern, feminine aesthetic.
