Katharina Spitz (* 1993) is an Amsterdam-based designer with a background in couture dressmaking. Her practice consists of a poetic, conceptual and hands-on examination of social conflicts of our time. From a feminist and material oriented perspective, she explores new ways of being in a world that is suffering from pollution, misogyny, inequality and alienation. In 2013 she started tailoring professionally at a couture salon in Düsseldorf and worked at the Dutch National opera as a tailor for soloists costumes after. In 2021 she graduated from Universität der Künste (Berlin) and has been working independently in Amsterdam since. Her practice consists of autonomous work as well as teaching, textile crafting, design and tailoring for artists and designers such as Sean Hannan, Marlou Breuls and Susanna Inglada. Her performances, films and designs have been exhibited in places such as the Bundeskunsthalle (Bonn), Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (Hamburg), Fashionclash Festival (Maastricht) and Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin). Collaboration is key in her artistic practice, so is spontaneity, precision and playfulness.
