Looking for comfortable, yet stylish outfits for the festive season? Embrace tradition with a modern twist for this year’s Christmas dinner or New Year’s Eve party. Vienna-based designer Lena Hoschek’s autumn/winter collection A New Tradition combines true craftsmanship with proximity to nature, cultural heritage and textile diversity. The designer skilfully interweaves Austrian traditional costume aesthetics with modern design, bringing two worlds together in a fascinating way.
Playful, yet elegant, the Gretl dress will make for a great outfit choice throughout the festive period. It has a narrow neckline, button-down front, and puffed sleeves, and its midi skirt is styled as a traditional skirt also known as ribbon skirt, with floral ribbon strips and heritage motifs below the neckline. £599.
Exuding traditional elegance with a contemporary twist, the Finchen dirndl blouse is meticulously tailored for a flattering fit. Delicate frills grace the neckline and sleeve edges, while a button-down front and elasticated hem ensure both comfort and ease of wear. Designed as the perfect complement to your dirndl, this blouse beautifully blends heritage-in-spired charm with feminine refinement. £252.
The Theresia Traditional jacket features puffed shoulders, fitted sleeves, frilled shoulder details, heritage buttons, and a narrow neckline. Its classic design pairs well with high-rise skirts or trousers. £391.
Channelling the spirit of refined tradition, the Leopold Traditional jacket stands out with its masterful heritage tailoring and eye-catching decorative flourishes. The intricately embroidered collar and button placket, highlighted by exquisite ornamental trims, deliver a look that seamlessly fuses enduring sophistication with a nod to folk-inspired elegance. £469.
The Anniversary dirndl pays homage to tradition with its heritage-inspired motifs and a soft pink apron, lending a touch of romantic charm. The bodice is expertly tailored, while the flowing Bänderrock skirt ensures an elegant silhouette. Thoughtful accents in the design reflect its deep cultural heritage. £1,695.
This look, featuring the Trixie jacket and the Rebel skirt in the striking Velvet Rose motif, artfully blends sumptuous velvet with intricately embroidered floral cross-stitch details. The palette – rich black, vibrant ruby red, and regal royal blue – draws inspiration from classic Eastern European textile traditions, infusing the style with a sense of folkloric romance updated for the modern day. Jacket £599, skirt £478.
