About the artist
Tutia Schaad is a Swiss-Vietnamese fashion and costume designer and a professor of Fashion Design at Macromedia University. She teaches and works across disciplines, integrating fashion with performance, visual art, and new technologies.
During her studies at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin, Schaad gained professional experience in Paris at Givenchy Haute Couture and Prêt-à-Porter under Riccardo Tisci. In 2009, she co-founded the label Perret Schaad, recognized for its innovative approach to contemporary womenswear. Collections were presented at Berlin Fashion Week in locations including the Neue Nationalgalerie, Baumarkt Hellweg, and the David Chipperfield Headquarters, combining conceptual rigor with refined craftsmanship.
Since 2018, Schaad has designed fashion and costumes for contemporary theater and dance productions at Staatstheater Hannover, Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin, Vooruit in Ghent, Schauspielhaus in Zürich, and Kaat in Yokohama. Her work explores the interplay between movement, space, and garment, experimenting with materiality, silhouette, and the interaction between body and environment.
During Berlin Art Week 2025, she will present at Räume.Art a work created for the contemporary opera and dance production The Rise by Eva Reiter and Michiel Vandevelde, which premiered at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2024 and was part of the BETA Architecture Biennale in Timișoara. This project exemplifies her engagement with collaborative, interdisciplinary processes, merging fashion, performance, and spatial design in ways that expand the perception of clothing beyond conventional presentation.
