About
Aleksandra Viktor is a Berlin-based luxury fashion label specialising in handwoven ikat silk garments. Founded by designer Aleksandra Jagdfeld, the label produces coats, short coats, dresses, skirts, and silk cushions using Central Asian ikat textiles sourced directly from master weavers in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan. Each design is produced in limited quantities and tailored in the Berlin atelier — some pieces are retired permanently once the original fabric is exhausted.
THE CRAFT
Ikat is one of the oldest and most technically demanding weaving traditions in the world. The technique requires dyeing individual silk threads before a single row of fabric is woven — a process that can take days before the loom is even threaded. The finished fabric is the result of weeks of preparation, precise thread alignment, and generations of accumulated craft knowledge.
Aleksandra Viktor works exclusively with atlas and adras silk ikat produced in Margilan and Bukhara — cities that have been centres of silk production for over 2,000 years. The weaving traditions of the Fergana Valley were inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2017.
Each Aleksandra Viktor garment requires between 40 and 120 hours of hand-weaving. No two pieces are identical. The characteristic soft-edged patterns of handwoven ikat — the result of thread movement during weaving — cannot be replicated by industrial production.
THE FOUNDER
Aleksandra Jagdfeld is a Polish-born fashion designer based in Berlin. After years of working with Central Asian textile artisans, she founded Aleksandra Viktor to bring genuine handwoven ikat silk to European fashion — without compromise on craft, material quality, or production ethics.
PRODUCTION MODEL
Aleksandra Viktor operates on a small-batch production model. Each design is produced in strictly limited quantities — when a piece sells out, a small number of additional units may be tailored from the same fabric, or the design is retired permanently. Some fabrics are one-of-a-kind: once the original ikat textile is exhausted, the piece cannot be reproduced. This is not a policy but a material reality — no two ikat fabrics are identical, and the specific weave, colour combination, and pattern of a given piece exists only once.
