Just like Marso Living, Priska Brügger and her fashion label PRISÉ are committed to a timeless and sustainable concept. Her designs and wardrobe classics reflect her own relaxed elegance. We had the pleasure of interviewing the Indonesian designer. Priska gave us insights into her humble story and her path, which began as a street musician in Australia and led her to Switzerland. She also shared her view that clothing and home accessories should serve a purpose in a home. Find inspiration in Priska Brügger and Prisé.
Who are you and what is your story?
I was born in Indonesia, a country with different values from beautiful Switzerland. I studied music in Australia, where I played on the street, not only to express my passion for art but also to earn a living. That is where I met my husband, and I moved to Switzerland with him.
Describe yourself and your understanding of art in three words
Visionary, creative, innovative 
How did you end up in the world of textiles and, more specifically, fashion design?
When I was a child, my mother and I always went to fabric shops and bought fabrics, which we then took to the tailor in our street, who made the clothes for our family. That was how I first came into contact with fabrics. Later I discovered my passion for art and creating, and I knew I wanted to become a fashion designer. But I couldn’t attend the renowned fashion schools, so I looked at their curricula, collected all the books and materials myself and studied them on my own after work. I had to be creative not only in my art, but also in how I could reach my goal of becoming a fashion designer.
In times of working from home – what is your go-to outfit? In which outfit do you feel comfortable and confident?
I like it simple: a beautiful white shirt, gold-plated accessories and comfortable linen or cotton trousers. There are two typical PRISE looks: a chic, elegant PRISE dress with gold accessories, and an all-white look with a white T-shirt and white linen trousers.
What makes PRISE different from other brands?
The choice of fabrics, the ethical production and the cut. Every design has been tested by me and a few other women around me. I wear my own designs every day and only sell what I believe in 100%. I always make sure the cut is comfortable to wear while creating an elegant, stylish look.
You are known for your mindful fashion design and its refined, minimalist style. What do you look for when buying home accessories for your own home?
I buy things that give me positive energy when I look at them in my home. The two most important words for my home would be artistic and personal. I have a weakness for beautiful shapes, like my tables or sculptures. I also keep various photo books all over the house, as they inspire me to keep moving forward in my work.
What is your bedtime routine? What do you do before you go to bed?
I meditate and make a plan for the next day, then I prepare my outfit while thinking the next day through. Before I close my eyes, I pray.
Bedside tables reveal a lot about a person... what is on yours?
My bedside table is full of the books I’m reading, and I read several at the same time. At the moment I’m reading these two books:
"Super Attractor" by Gabrielle Bernstein
"The Power of Broke" by Daniel Paisner and Daymond John
Finally – do you have a particular mantra or piece of advice for other entrepreneurs trying to build their own business?
Define the end goal and focus on the small goals, every single day.
