Inspiration

Julian Prohaska is an incredibly talented fashion designer whose work stands out for its emotional depth, bold vision, and artistic flair. Deeply inspired by Alexander McQueen, Julian brings a similar sense of storytelling and theatricality to his designs, creating pieces that resonate on more than just a visual level. As he puts it, “If I had to name my biggest inspiration, it would be Alexander McQueen — mainly because of his incredible vision. He had this rare ability to translate emotion and storytelling into fashion in a way that felt almost theatrical. That really stuck with me early on.” Alongside McQueen, Julian also draws influence from Rick Owens, admiring his bold, unapologetic silhouettes and dark, wearable elegance. “To me, it’s the perfect balance between art and street — something I aim to capture in my own work as well,” he says. With this unique blend of influences, Julian continues to carve out a powerful and distinct voice in contemporary fashion.
