Be a fashion designer

I am the founder and creative director behind the MARCELL VON BERLIN, the brand embodying the style I named street couture, a bold and progressive look combined with traditional craftsmanship that won the affection of brash style icons such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Kris Jenner.

Street couture combines two things: craftsmanship and wear ability. Through my designs, I want everyone to be able to express their inner strength. My absolute key pieces are the power suits we design in different colors each season because suits give you the confidence to raise your shoulders. They symbolize power. Our prints are designed in-house and therefore unique.

Born in Poland, I early on discovered my great passion for fashion thanks to my grandmother, who was a very talented seamstress. That is why, at 17, I moved from Poland to New York to work at my first fashion internship and to study at Parsons School of Design. After working with well-known brands for a couple of years in New York, I felt the urge to launch my own label in 2011 and create my own designs.

I split my time between Berlin and Los Angeles, with the environments of these cities’ freedom influencing the style of MVB outfits a lot.

Generally speaking: working on current designs and creating new ones

• Drawing sketches based on creative ideas
• Working on CAD (computer-aided design)
• Testing materials
• Directing and coordinating design team members
