The Studio - Where Designs Come To Life

Hello!

My name is Rosa and I am the marketing assistant here at Muehleder. Ever wondered where your clothes are designed? Allow me to take you on a quick tour around our cozy Brooklyn Studio, where you get to see all the magic unravel behind the scenes. This is where we produce our products, from concept creation to final execution. Every step of the design process is done carefully to ensure that the garments you receive have the perfect fit and are made of the best fabrics, threads, zippers, and more.

So, what gets designer Larissa Muehleder and her assistants started on a typical day?

You see, we believe in setting the mood to get those creative juices flowing. We're not talking about that one-way crush up in this studio, we're talking about a strong mutual relationship. In order to create designs that you will love, we have to love creating them. So how do we go about that?

1. Hardworking, cool colleagues

2. Good Music (Everybody takes turns picking what they want to vibe to) #Spotify

3. Inspo Is Everything. Something inspires you? Slap it on the wall, on the table, or make it your computer screen saver. Take out the sticky notes and write some confidence boosting words. And slap that on everything! You can see in the picture that we have pages ripped out of magazines under the glass on the table and all over the walls.

Now that the chill creative vibe is set, and the hardworking cool colleagues are boosting with confidence, we get to work.  

Lots and lots of work go on here. It gets pretty messy, but it's a good mess; sketches and collages strewn about, colorful fabrics everywhere, rivers of threads mingling with each other. It's like that scene in Cinderella when the birds and mice make her the ball gown. Eventually, Cinderella had her fairy godmother, who could spin a wand to make any dress she wanted. We are very interested in that by the way. Not the fairy godmother because everyone who works here is strong and independent, so just the wand. Please give us a call if you know where we can get that. It'll really help us cut down on production costs!

Last on our tour is this little room, which is one of the most important rooms to work in. This is where we have your orders beautifully wrapped into personalized packages to be shipped out to you! 

Made with love. From us, to you. 

xx,

Rosa Chen

From Lagos to Brooklyn

Having spent her earliest years in Nigeria, her cultural heritage instilled in her a deep love for boldness and vibrancy. These traits would later come to life in the creations of her eponymous brand, Muehleder. However, the journey to becoming a designer wasn’t a straightforward path—it was a winding narrative of immigration, self-discovery, and an unwavering pursuit of the vision she held for herself and the women she aspired to create for.

Her first clients were teenage girls just like her, eager to see the Prom Dress of their dreams come to life. She found immense joy in the design process and in the friendships that blossomed from their trust in her ideas. At the tender age of 16, she already understood that designing wasn’t just about fabric and thread—it was about empowering women to embrace their differences, every curve and smile. Each piece she created became an invitation to stand tall, to own their space, and to celebrate the unique beauty within.

Through feminine silhouettes, cascading ruffles, and a fearless embrace of bold hues, Muehleder has proudly captured the attention of powerful women worldwide. Icons like Beyoncé, Zendaya, Issa Rae, and Cardi B have embraced the brand’s vision, amplifying its impact and reach. Yet, beyond celebrity endorsements, Muehleder has become a point of connection—a place where women can find solace, solidarity, and sisterhood. It stands as a testament to the dreams of a little mixed girl, realized through resilience, determination, and an unwavering belief in the power of self-expression.
