Sonia Boessert is the designer behind the label Boessert/Schorn since 2010. The label was founded, however, by Brigitte Schorn and Sonia Boessert who got to know each other while studying fashion at Burg Giebichenstein University for Art and Design in Halle. With their first collaboration - the watering-can project - they qualified for the prestigious "Hyères Festival International de Mode et de Photographie".
Since 2008, Boessert/Schorn is presenting collections twice a year in Paris and Tokyo, since 2010 also in New York. The collection is available in selected stores in Asia, Europe and United States.
The label Boessert/Schorn represents extraordinary items, combining materials with characteristic surfaces and structures especially knitwear in all its variations. Boessert/Schorn worked out special handcraft methods, knit techniques or dyings, basically inspired by old things, craft and traditional costumes.
The style of Boessert/Schorn is rough, discreetly feminine and nonchalant – it is fashion without straight lines and classic cuts.
