About

I am Julian Zigerli, born and raised in Uster, Switzerland. With a passion for creative freedom that fills my mind, I enjoy living life with my friends and family by my side. Holding both Swiss and Italian passports, I currently live in Zürich in a tower on the 22nd floor, appreciating the world as my oyster. Throughout my career, I have developed a fashion label and collaborated on numerous design projects and collections.

My professional journey spans across teaching, costume design for theatre plays, fashion and merchandise projects, and brand collaborations, including work with major companies such as Swarovski and Migros. I have also received multiple Swiss Design Awards and contributed to fashion education as a guest professor at the University of Arts Berlin (UdK).
