Pitour_ Since working with Helmut Lang while completing her studies at the Vienna College of Applied Art (Wiener Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst), Maria Oberfrank has been busy designing clothing, accessories and jewelry for city-wanderers who value purism and understatement as important aspects of fashion.
For those who want to maintain their tendency for panache and attach a touch of subdued luxury, modern chic and sufficient opulence to a purist appearance, they can find what they are looking for with Pitour. Experimental imaginativeness, employed in every detail as a central theme, produces genuinely eye-catching pieces, accessories and jewelry for men and women.
The collections from Pitour certainly also express a fair share of Savoir Vivre and character. It brings out the sophisticated details and cheery ensembles from the elaborate design process.

Pieces by Pitour are a combination of Central-European austerity interwoven with a thread of passion and exuberance…

Artista_ The four designers of Artista established themselves as successes in the fashion scene in Budapest in 1994. While maintaining their success in the Hungarian capital, they have also understood, since the founding of the Combinat, how to capture the Viennese public with their very individual, if not emotional fashion concepts.

Alongside releasing seasonal collections and custom, one-of-a-kind pieces, the contributors to Artista have developed their expertise through many years of experience in various disciplines of styling, including costume work for films and television as well as organizing clothing and uniforms for major events. So don’t be surprised when you recognize various Arista designs in video clips, TV ads, image films, etc…

km/a_ Any guest of the Combinat who believes that parachutes, prison blankets, rice bags or mailbags have nothing to do with fashion definitely has something to learn from Katha Harrer and her label km/a. She employs these seemingly everyday materials in creating experimental, dynamic, yet nonetheless very becoming coats, jackets, pants, skirts and other pieces.

For a designer, creating a moment of surprise is the ultimate motivation. A wealth of experimental ideas are manifest in the motivation for the work of km/a - several of her complex, conceptual collections have already had success at international fashion shows (Altaroma/Rome, ispo/Munich, Inside White/Milan, etc.) Pieces designed by km/a are crafted in the image of the city, with a nonconformist surface and extroverted material performance, making for veritable showstoppers – whether the wearer is on the go, enjoying free time or at the office.

So that the jackets and coats from km/a may never be considered one-dimensional, they can also be worn inside out – with the exterior and interior in contrasting colors, of course. Fashion for rebels? Yes. Fashion for fashion rebels.

Lothar Daniel Bechtold & his new favorite pieces.

The designer plays with styles and conventions, with patterns and fabrics, with expressions and impressions. In the new collection sporty dynamism meets soft elegant shapes. 

A new kind of fashion emerges due to great attention to detail and the courage to mix. Garments in a fashion-style that strikingly resembles the lifestyle of its buyers, distinctive, with an eye for design and independent. 
Fashion like a second skin. 
Fashion as a sign of personality. 
Just favorite pieces.
