My name is Stefanie Bold, I live in Cologne, and my passion is colors. As a costume designer and stylist, I am always surrounded by vibrant colors, and I love the colorful and high-quality fabrics from countries such as Africa, India, and Latin America. Additionally, I have a strong affinity for vintage clothing because the quality is often much better than what you can buy today. Therefore, I try to work with second-hand clothes and accessories as much as possible in my costume design.

I am a trained seamstress and costume designer for film, television, and theater. Recently, I have also been working as a style and color coach. I advise women and men, review their wardrobes, and consult groups of up to 15 people for the company Reha and Beruf.

Since sustainability in fashion is very important to me, I have started repairing and upcycling well-preserved men’s shirts. Another passion of mine is collecting ties, which I have been doing for some time. I find there are beautiful designs and materials that I transform into hats.

I look at art, particularly textile art.

I find it to be an exciting concept that supports people in extending the life cycle of clothing, shoes, and bags, thereby reducing consumption.
