Founded in 1978 by Munich-based knitwear designers Margaretha and Wolfgang Ley, Escada quickly ascended to the upper echelon of high-end fashion brands by combining contrasting patterns and textures into highly original combinations — think a black woven tweed jacket embellished with multicolor fringes, or an asymmetrical knit dress marked by brown, red, and black color blocking. A favorite label among celebrities and royals, Escada infuses its women’s clothing, sunglasses, shoes, and bags with a distinctive jetsetter appeal. Silky fabrics, ultra-feminine silhouettes, and classic cuts give each Escada design a timeless and polished quality that will make them some of your most beloved go-to pieces. In addition to clothing and accessories, Escada has developed a luxurious perfume collection that includes Magnetism, Sunset, Into the Blue, and Marine Groove.
