ABOUT Davide Bruggisser:
Now based in Paris, this young fashion designer recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design from the Institut Français de la Mode. But the path to design began much earlier, in Urdorf, a small town outside Zurich, where a close connection to the Swiss landscape first shaped their creative outlook.
Nature remains a constant source of inspiration: its textures, colours, structures, and ever-changing forms often become starting points for exploring new silhouettes, materials, and ways of working. Yet their approach to fashion is firmly grounded in craft. Before studying design, they trained as a menswear tailor, building a strong technical foundation and a deep respect for precision and traditional garment construction.
Professional experience, including an internship on London’s Savile Row, further developed this relationship with craftsmanship and reinforced the importance of quality, functionality, and detail.
Moving to Paris and studying at IFM opened up a different perspective, bringing new cultural references and creative influences into their practice. Still, the mountains and landscapes of Switzerland remain an important counterpoint to city life—a place of balance, observation, and inspiration.
Their work brings these two worlds together, combining technical expertise with an intuitive response to the natural environment. At its core is a belief that clothing can express the relationship between people and the world around them, translating the complexity and beauty of nature into contemporary fashion.
