Michaela Buerger began knitting long before she learned how to write, and so it is natural that she would return to this first love to create collection after collection of knit clothing and accessories.  She learned the fine art of knitting from her mother in the small village of in the south of Austria where she grew up.  She was later accepted to attend the University of Applied Arts in Vienna to study theatre design and fashion design.  It was here that she had the opportunity to study under Raf Simons, an experience which consecrated her love of fashion. 

After graduating in 2006, she went to work for Veronique Leroy in Paris before launching her own collection of womenswear and accessories.  She was immediately recognized for her refined design aesthetic and innovative knitwear, a statement that is highly graphic and incontestably chic. 

 She is now on her way to becoming this generation’s queen of knits, with growing renown and recognition in Paris, New York, LA, and the world over.  Based in Paris, Buerger’s handmade knits are now selling at Colette and Opening Ceremony, among other boutiques around the world.
