Csilla’s Story
In 2017 the designer at her boutique @ 504 Congress Avenue, downtown Austin
The alchemy of fashion and sustainability, creating elegance with purpose.
Established 2007 in East Village, Manhattan, New York City.
“I’ve been called a tree hugger, an adventurer, a best kept secret fashion designer. I am honored to be able to do what I love: design, travel and be a parent. I would love the opportunity to inspire a new generation to live mindfully, to think globally, and to pay it forward.”
Born in Hungary and shaped by life across Algeria and Mexico, Csilla brings a rich, global perspective to her design philosophy. From the very beginning, every piece has been handmade, crafted with intention and care.
Inspired by the world around her, she designs clothing that blends comfort and beauty. Pieces that consistently bring compliments, comfort and confidence, as her clients have shared for nearly two decades. Beyond fashion, she’s a passionate traveler and fitness enthusiast, eager to share her experiences in style, wellness, and mindful living. This corner of the web is her way of connecting, inspiring, and helping shape a brighter future for all.

As her clients describe Csilla’s creations…
For people of consequence with a global perspective.
“Leave the World a little better than you found it.” by Csilla Somogyi
An ethical, carbon neutral path to the future of fashion begins here...
Our process is intentional & rooted in full transparency: in house production in the heart of Austin from first sketch to final stitch.
We don’t outsource. We don’t overproduce. We ensure fair labor practices, reduce waste to zero and create clothing that honors You & Our planet.
Sustainable
From first sketch to the last stitch we only work in house, thus minimizing the impact on our planet. We strive to be carbon negative. Each square inch of fabric is used up, even the smallest scraps are donated to schools and children for art projects.
Warranty
“Wow, you hemmed this dress for free for me even though I bought it at your shop 4 years ago! Thank you so much!” Dianna C. - We guarantee each garment by complimentary repairs, hemming, and adjustments. (exclusions apply)
Design
Every garment is handcrafted from scratch, beginning with a carefully designed original paper pattern drafted by the designer. Each piece is then carefully cut and sewn in-house at our studio in Austin, Texas, USA.
Inspiration
“I find anything and everything inspiring. I design with purpose and practicality, for maximum functionality and most comfort. Classic minimalist silhouettes made most interesting by an unusual twist are my favorite.” by Csilla Somogyi
Mission
We believe in preserving OUR PLANET by creating for a slower, more meaningful way of dressing with each garment designed with purpose. We believe in classic styles that honor craftsmanship, reducing waste, and restoring value to the things we wear.
You
You have been Csilla’s muse and inspiration for nearly two decades. Without You, who appreciates our designs and what we stand for, we could not be writing these words today. THANK YOU
