Couture Headpieces Handmade in Vienna
Brazilian-born and Vienna-based, Niely Hoetsch is known for her sculptural headpieces and minimalistic elegance. Raised in her grandmother’s atelier — a world of silk, crystals, and floral artistry — she mastered traditional millinery techniques from an early age. After a career in International Relations and Marketing, she returned to her creative roots, bringing the family atelier from Brazil to Europe in 2007. Her creations today blend refined simplicity with bold couture craftsmanship — made for women who seek beauty with soul, and style with intention.
