Agatha Ruiz de la Prada

Way back when - about two decades ago - when I didn’t know yet “what I wanted to be when I grow up”, I read about Agatha Ruiz de la Prada - a crazy creative fashion designer from Barcelona, Spain. I started to get obsessed with her style, passion and creativity, loved all of her funky “almost costumy” designs and wanted to become a fashion designer just like her. One thing lead to another and I started applying to fashion schools across the globe until I eventually got accepted and started attending Modeschule Hetzendorf in Vienna, Austria.

My path ended up leading me to CCA in San Francisco where I studied Graphic Design and then to an 8 year career as a Software Designer at Microsoft. Now, almost 20 years later, I am coming back full circle to fashion design and started VVNH / .. with my business partner Viviane Veraguth.

Viviane sent me a link to this site a few days ago and it made me smile. How much has happened since then and yet, my passion for fashion remains the same.
