Skua Studio

HOW THEY MET
Both Naomi and Anousjka were born in Utrecht the center of the Netherlands. They met during their time studying at the DHTA, where it clicked from the first moment they worked together. The choices in style and personalities caused them to collaborate, during, and after their studies. Naomi and Anousjka are both constantly looking for the limits of artisan shoemaking and fashion. They both have a hands-on mentality, and ask themselves tough questions that make them set their limits higher.

THE ORIGIN OF SKUA STUDIO
SKUA is transformed out of a very old Dutch word; skuo (500 A.D.). Naomi & Anousjka switched the ‘O’ into an ‘A’, turning the word from a masculine into a feminine noun. Being two dutch women, they instantly felt more connected to the name SKUA.
They collaborated a few times and after a couple of successful runway fashionweek collections, they started their own label. The first small SKUA Studio tryout collection was shown at the Milan Fashionweek SS19 — leading to further showcases at Berlin-, Amsterdam- and Paris Fashion week (SS2019/2020).
