A woman who’s early childhood bounced between Nigeria, Austria, Senegal, and Paris until finally finding roots in Brooklyn, New York. The self-titled brand has a signature style that is easily recognizable due to its unique sculpting of Neoprene to create voluminous cocktail dresses, and high end athleisure wear. As a child who spoke through gap teeth with a multicultural accent, and thick multi-c
olored glasses, the designer quickly found that her personal style was the most comfortable way to connect with her new classmates. This idea has blossomed in Muehleder where a dress can spark a conversation with a lifelong friend. The line launched in 2014, and the collection is known for its use of neoprene fabrication -- most often found in scuba diving suits -- in unexpected ways, including feminine shapes with flare and volume, bold exposed zippers, pops of color and intricate lace fabric overlays and trim. Muehleder is able to use Neoprene in a casual everyday way because of the design of their signature neoprene fabrication that feels as gentle as cotton and stretches like nylon, but has no insulation lining; leaving every piece lightweight and breathable for an easy to wear yet bold aesthetic.
