YVY

2017_YVY_SLEEK_collection__meshtopandvisor

Founded in Zurich in 2013, the fashion brand YVY stands for seasonally independent, exquisite leather goods, in the development of which the classic boundaries between accessories and clothing are often deliberately called in question. The spectrum extends from corsetry creations to articles of clothing, leather belts and bags. YVY’s collections combine traditional craft work, sensuousness, sex appeal and formal innovation. The exceptionally positive feedback which the label has received from international celebrities and influential stylists, in magazines and in the social media, demonstrates the appeal of this kind of approach. All products are made from top-quality materials – above all from the best Italian leather, which has been tanned with plant-based substances – and are produced by hand in Zurich. The control of production this ensures guarantees high quality standards, and makes it possible to meet the special wishes of a female clientele. YVY collections are marketed through the company’s own webshop and by way of select boutiques.

Comments of the nominators

Smart and well connected, Yvonne Reichmuth succeeded over just a few years in acquiring international standing for her brand YVY in a niche of the fashion market. Her popularity with the stylists of celebrities, and the attention her collections have attracted in leading international fashion magazines, are their own best argument. Her strategy of consistently relying on the best craftsmanship combined with superlative raw materials is finding a public. As products are made at her own workshop in Zurich, she can easily respond to the individual requirements of her customers.
