Patricia von Musulin

Dedicated to experimentation and exploration, Patricia von Musulin has worked extensively to redefine the notion of “accessories.” Creating a body of work known as much for its powerful originality and signature style as for its unique aesthetic ambition, von Musulin seeks to employ a wide array of materials to evoke deep symbolism and psychological associations, using crystal-like “transparency” to evoke the undulating currents of water ”the source of all life” in contrast to the deep black tones of her “Ebony Collection” which reflects our cultural fascination with “the Primitive.” Her bold work has been featured in international advertising campaigns, countless magazines as well as on both American and Europeans runway.

Estee Lauder, Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, Lancome, Victoria’s Secret, Absolute Vodka, Cover Girl, Gap, Kohler, and Goldenpoint have used her accessories in their advertising. Her work has appeared editorially in Vogue, German Vogue, Italian Vogue, French Vogue, Vogue Taiwan, Harpers Bazaar, Harper’s Bazaar en Espanol, Trace, Numero, Flair, Cosmopolitan, Cosmopolitan en Espanol, Town and Country, Vibe, Latina, Essence, W Magazine, Vissionaire, Zink, Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Elle, Elle Decor, Forbes Magazine, American Express Departure Magazine, Conde Nast Traveler, Purple Magazine, to name just a few.
A partial listing of feature articles include: “The New York Times,” “Corrierre Della Serra,” “The International Herald Tribune,” “Dallas Daily News” and “Women’s Wear Daily.”

Her early career was in the field of industrial design where her clients included “The Metropolitan Museum of Art,” for whom she created many of the reproductions of objects for the “King Tut” show, as well as Pierre Cardin for whom she designed an automobile. She also had the privilege to work closely with the famous scientist and art restorer, Gustav Berger.

Her work is in the permanent collections of “The Metropolitan Museum of Art,” “The Boston Museum of Fine Arts,” “The National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution,” as well as “The Museum at the Fashion institute of Technology.”

Although Patricia is as much at home in Istanbul, Prague or New York, all of her designs are manufactured in New York City.
