Jackson Wiederhoeft is an artist, storyteller, and designer, and the founder of Wiederhoeft: a design house described as “cryptic yet relatable” which specializes in intimately crafted ready-to-wear, bridalwear, demi-couture fashions, interior design, and costume design.

Jackson studied at Parsons, then spent the first few years of his career designing for Thom Browne, where he worked on women’s runway collections. Wiederhoeft debuted in 2019, and the collections following have displayed a range of emotionally-charged presentations, often incorporating performance, with a theatrically-minded approach.

Some of the funniest people on our planet including Cole Escola, Meg Stalter, Tina Fey, and Rachel Sennott have graced Wiederhoeft gowns. Other famous people like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Miley Cyrus have been spotted looking fabulous in Wiederhoeft.

Regarding awards, Jackson was a runner-up of the 2024 CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund and a finalist of the same competition in 2022. He was also a nominee for a CFDA Award in the Emerging Designer category in 2024, finalist for the 2024 U.S. Fashion Trust, and graduated as Womenswear Designer of the Year from Parsons in 2016.

Jackson has been described in Harpers Bazaar as “the high priest of corsets made in New York” – a nod to our obsessive dedication to quality craftsmanship, and state-of-the-art corset sizing program technology, which ensures that anyone who wants to be a part of the Wiederhoeft world, can be. We set the stage for clients with private appointments at the Wiederhoeft Salon on 38th street, in the heart of New York City’s historic Garment District, where the collections are produced.

Jackson lives in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and enjoys long walks at night listening to various works of Philip Glass.
