Silversärk began in 2005 to bring the aesthetics of Japanese Street Fashion to a Western market. Since then, the brand has expanded to include all kinds of historically-influenced alternative fashion. Taking historic fashion to the mainstream by using contemporary silhouettes and textiles, Silversärk garments are one-of-a-kind designs with modern comfort and function in mind.

Each custom garment is handmade to order. If you are interested in getting a quote for a custom design, please email Stephanie at silversarkx@gmail.com

About the Designer

Apparel designer Stephanie Schultz creates wearable art with a modern sensibility for function and form. Merging her interest in history with clothing, she builds collections which tell a narrative using elements from historical garments, figures, places, or events. Stephanie’s creative desire is to create refined but accessible high fashion, adhering to the belief that fashion is a fluid, transformative act of self-expression. Designing and creating beautiful, wearable art has been where she finds most solace, considering what she does as “exorcising her fashion demons” – evicting ideas from her skull into 3D textile manipulation.

Much of Stephanie's work has explored hubris and man’s relation to power, expectations of beauty as it relates to the muse and gender expression, and the natural human desire to possess inimitable beauty, no matter what form this comes in. As beauty is subjective and changes throughout the aeons based on societal norms, there is much to explore as it relates to her personal interest in historic dress.

Stephanie has been a board member of Milwaukee Fashion Week and has had her work exhibited in the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Racine Art Museum and Osh Kosh Public Museum. Her work has also been featured on The Morning Blend, the Real Milwaukee, TMJ4, Fox6 Wake Up! and PBS. She was the 2018-2019 Artist in Residence at the Pfister Hotel, creating work influenced by the hotel’s Victorian Art Collection as well as the historic hotel’s architecture.
