Ida Immendorff is an emerging costume designer whose practice lives at the intersection of fashion and art. A recent graduate of Central Saint Martins in Womenswear, her work investigates the meaning of costume beyond function: exploring its power as symbol.
With professional experience spanning both Vivienne Westwood and La Comédie-Française, Immendorff moves fluidly between the worlds of contemporary fashion and theatrical costume. This dual formation allows her to blur boundaries: between garment and artifact, runway and stage, the worn and the worshipped. Raised within the world of art from childhood, with parents who are both renowned artists, Immendorff inherited a deep sensitivity to image-making, craftsmanship, and narrative. This early immersion continues to shape her approach today, each piece bearing the trace of hand, intention, and belief. Her work seeks not trend, but permanence: garments as carriers of memory, myth, and transformation.
During the upcoming couture season, Ida Immendorff presents her debut costume collection, "Hi, Way to Heaven?", as a radical departure from conventional fashion presentation. Immendorff brings costume into the fashion arena, insisting on its relevance, power and right to exist amid the industry’s noise and momentum.
