About

Stephanie Schultz

Stephanie Schultz is a Wisconsin born and raised artist specializing in high fashion clothing inspired by historical dress. Driven by her desire to incorporate old techniques with new technology, SIlversärk garments have a special familiarity about them with a uniquely modern flourish. Contemporary designers such as Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Anna Sui, Gareth Pugh and Zuhair Murad all stimulate Stephanie’s interest in couture. Stephanie enjoys being the creative director on fashion shows, photoshoots, and special events with a touch of historical anachronism.

She was the 2018-2019 Artist in Residence at The Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, WI. During her tenure she created a collection based on the hotel’s vast Victorian art collection. Her legacy piece is a part of their permanent art collection, which currently resides across from the Artist in Residence studio. She also used digitally printed textiles of photos she took around the hotel to make scarves, shawls, and ties, providing clients with exclusive garments.

Her work has been featured on PBS, Wisconsin Public Television, and local morning news outlets. Her work has been exhibited at the Oshkosh Public Museum, the Beulah Brinton House and the Racine Art Museum.
