SUSANNE BARTSCH

SUSANNE BARTSCH | @bartschland | New York
✨ “It's not about fashion – it's about living your life.” – Susanne Bartsch ✨
She’s a style icon, muse, performer, and the creative mind behind some of New York’s most legendary events over the past four decades. Using hedonism as a creative strategy, she pushes boundaries, challenges norms, and promotes inclusivity within fashion and art. Collaborating with international creatives, hair and makeup artists, she crafts extravagant looks that continue to influence underground fashion and club culture.
This exhibition takes you on a night out and shows how transformative working on outfits, appearances and spaces can be.
