“Art is beautiful, but it’s a lot of work” - Brigitte Margareta Wilhelm has made this statement by Dadaist Karl Valentin her mantra. The stylist and fashion director works hard for international clients and high-end fashion magazines. Brigitte Margareta Wilhelm comments, “my international projects, travels and prolonged stays abroad facilitate a creative exchange amongst a large circle of friends and kindred spirits, whose approaches, concepts and ideas also feed into my work. I don’t see styling as limited to just fashion and fashion shoots. Creative variety always leads to new ideas: from a book, to an exhibition, film or everyday life, everything inspires me to work on new projects.”
