“I am really excited to bring my designs back to Aspen.  Having lived in Aspen for 6 years and finding endless inspiration from the people and the place, it means the world to me to take part in such a provocative and incredible event,” says Katerina.  “I wouldn’t be able to do this without partnering with Schoeller.  I absolutely love working with their fabrics and feel lucky to have such a strong connection with them.”

“Katerina’s innovations are remarkable.  The STEE_LETA’s are an example of her imagination, design, and forward thinking perspective that is a fantastic realization of what the textile designers in Switzerland have in mind in their own creative process. Her use of images and pop culture really push the boundaries of the use of our fabrics and her creations are functional, fashion forward, and simply one of a kind,” says Shannon Walton, PR/Marketing of Schoeller Textil North America.

About Katerina Lankova Haute Couture

Katerina Lankova grew up in communist Czechoslovakia. After graduating from the Textile and Manufacture School of Design in Liberec, she moved to London. She never planned to move to US, but after three years in Prague and working a corporate job, a coincidence brought her to Aspen CO. Her passion for skiing led her to design a pair of ski pants. She likes the challenge of designing highly technical skiwear; yet finds it more fun ever since she found sourcing and inspiration in Schoeller's materials.  She currently resides in New York City where she constantly seeks influence and experiences to drive her design creations.
