Silversärk is a Milwaukee-based fashion brand owned and operated by Stephanie Schultz since 2005. Originally inspired by Japanese street fashion, the Silversärk aesthetic has since expanded to include centuries of historical fashion and antique paintings and architecture. Stephanie spends several months working on each collection, researching the historic elements that drive the decisions regarding fabric selection, garment design, and fine detailing. Naturally, she prefers to work with antique and vintage fabrics and lace for their rarity and charm. Her aesthetic as an artist is driven by distinctive textiles, detailing, and tailoring. Taking historic fashion to the mainstream by using contemporary silhouettes and textiles, these garments are designed with modern comfort and function in mind.
