TRAINED AS A DANCER, Schnabl moved from Germany to New York in the mid-eighties to pursue performance. A break from dancing switched her focus towards her career as a designer. After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she received multiple awards, she freelanced for renowned designers, including Jil Sander, Robert Danes and Bernard Chaus. In 1999 she launched Miche Kimsa, in 2002, she branched off with her eponymous label. The style of her line ties together her interest in fashion, dance and the intersection of both forms.
