Designer Spotlight: Victoria Scandale

Having debuted her brand during Milan Fashion Week, Victoria Scandale is an international designer who uses her constant travels as main inspirations while producing her eponymous collection. Seeking to create luxurious clothing made of the highest quality craftsmanship, the Victoria Scandale brand celebrates the feminine form in a way that transcends the test of time. Getting an early start to design, Victoria Scandale began sketching and making clothes for her dolls during her early schooldays in Poland at six years old. Absorbing the teachings and techniques of her grandmother, she had designed and sewn her very first own dress by the age of twelve and the hunger to continue this creation process was born.

Inspiration can come from anywhere, but for Scandale it comes from within. Devoid of specific “moments,” the highly artistic designer pulls inspiration in a steady flow from her unique and free spirit. No stranger to foreign sights, sounds, and textures, Scandale incorporates the senses into her design process each step of the way. Aiming for a “natural novelty,” Scandale used fabric combinations of silky wool, tweed and tartan, contrasting linings and geometric cuts to produce garments that are noticeably luxurious.

Each piece is created for the discerning consumer, one that appreciates quality, attention to detail, and timeless sensibility, with an ultra feminine twist. The air of unique sophistication conveyed by the cosy and warm pants, the layered skirts or the cape jacket ensures “work and leisure” looks that are ideal from desk to dusk; perfect for the cosmopolitan woman as she’s whisked away to gallery openings, cocktail parties and romantic strolls in the park.
