Since founding her namesake brand in 2014, Magda Butrym has honed her signature style to great effect. Bound by a modern view of romanticism and inspired by her Slavic roots, the Polish designer has gained international acclaim for her sculptural silhouettes and timeless approach. Featuring artisanal embellishments such as appliqués, hand-knitting, plaited leather and intricate embroidery, her sensual eveningwear often explores themes of contemporary elegance. Butrym, who has shown at Paris Fashion Week, was named a semi-finalist for the 2018 LVMH Prize and collaborated with H&M seven years later.

By 2025, Magda Butrym was stocked by Net-a-Porter, Moda Operandi and Mytheresa, as well as in her own Warsaw flagship. Her designs have been worn by the likes of Hailey Bieber, Natalie Portman and Anya Taylor-Joy. "Women should feel comfortable in their own skin, happy, powerful and confident. I don’t want to define women; I want to empower them. We should all be our own muses," she says. Butrym studied fashion at Miedzynarodowa Szkola Kostiumografii i Projektowania Ubioru (MSKPU) in Warsaw and previously worked as a stylist and designer for several Polish brands before starting her own label.
