mila schön
In 1958, Madame Schön, whose parents were Croatian nobility, opened her atelier in Milan, Italy. Within just a few years, both her haute couture and ready-to-wear collections gained immense popularity, making her a leading name in Italy. The "double-faced" fabric, woven from the finest wool and presented at her first collection in Florence, remains a signature material for Mila Schön today. To this day, she presents sophisticated and innovative collections every season in Milan. Her "subtractive design" approach, which involves stripping away unnecessary elements and pursuing simplicity, is also evident throughout her collections. In Japan, Mila Schön has attracted attention since the early days of Italian fashion in the country, and its ease of wear and excellent tailoring that resists losing its shape have resonated with many, making it a favorite among VIPs in the political and business world.
