I came to know Atelier Sochor through Nina van Rooijen, who, as the first guest designer, presented select pieces of her collection in Susanna's newly redesigned store. And with great success! Since then, the seasons have followed, each with a new theme, with the former "Modedesign Atelier für Modifikation" now seen in a new light.
For a long time Susanna's business was purely a tailor shop. Her shop at Morgartenstrasse has been frequented, for more than 15 years, by customers aware of her skills as a dressmaker and fashion designer. Her craftsmanship, mastered by few, is also in demand from world-class stores on the Bahnhofstrasse requiring precise tailoring. Whoever needs the perfect address for alterations, this is the right place.
Atelier Sochor is also the right place for those who have discovered a garment in a fashion magazine or movie and want the same design custom-made. From pants, blouses, suits, to dresses - even wedding dresses - Susanna has done it all.
In the men's department, Susanna works together with well-known partners "Scabal" and "Weder-Meier". "Weder-Meier", a Swiss family business, is her chosen specialist for unique made to measure shirts and "Scabal" her partner for individual, custom- made suits. Anyone who knows the name "Scabal" recognizes the very exclusive workmanship and high quality materials of the suits this house tailors, worn also by many Hollywood stars.
Since May 2014 Susanna offers even more in her Atelier, which she redesigns every couple of months. She displays individual fashion collections from selected designers in addition to partly restored and original vintage furniture by Hector Living. As mentioned above, the very special creations by Nina van Rooijen. And currently she displays the wonderful embroidery and textiles from the "Waldburger Stickerei Manufaktur" from Lucerne, including elegant table runners, placemats and napkins, bed linen and fabulous linen bread bags. The latter I am particularly excited about!
Visiting heart-warming Susanna is fun and worthwhile even if one doesn't have a garment in need of tailoring. Because here, one also finds beautiful home accessories from labels such as "Madame Stolz" and "Nordal" or the candles from "Serenity", which when burning, produce a wonderfully scented body oil.
