DIPTYCH was founded by valerie and ali in 2009.
both born on friday 13th in vienna, they believe in
good karma
and free weekends. ali and valerie met
during their studies at
the university of applied arts
in vienna.
in 2005 their professor raf simons asked them to join
his team
as junior designers at jil sander in milan.
after two seasons
they decided to return to their
beloved vienna.
being friends they found out that working together is
really
a lot of fun. finally they decided to found their
brand new
brand DIPTYCH in cafe urania.
DIPTYCH’s first womens wear collection
“i’m a victim of this song”
for spring/summer 2010
was presented on the 2nd of november
2009 in tokyo.
it is inspired by their last summers favourite song by pipilotti rist.
they listened to it all summer long, while working on this collection.
it was their summer of love and creation.
valerie and ali like sweet potato, land art, the united nations,
wall-e, india (although they have never been there), hot water,
werner herzog, backpacks, cafe urania, georges moustaki,
twin
peaks, yoyogi park and swami satchidananda.
DIPTYCH likes to work in open structures. work and inspiration
is led by coincidence, feelings and mood. decisions are taken
spontaneously and incoherently.
NO REGRETS!
