Mag. Michael Quester
Founder/Designer
After graduating in Marketing & Sales, followed by several adventurous years of restoring and redesigning classic Italian motorcycles and scooters, Michael started in 2008 with his first independent fashion line „CASSIDA“ after winning several international design contests in the fashion industry.
CASSIDA Clothing concentrates on glamorous high end quality clothing and became an overnight
success after Hollywood’s elite like Johnny Depp, Pink, Black Eyed Peas, All4One, Moby and many more
discovered his line.
More recently, Michael decided to implement the CASSIDA style concept for interiors and together with the renowned Austrian luxury rug specialist, Omar Besim, created one of the most comprehensive modern luxury rug collections, combining centuries-old traditions with state-of-the-art design….AND there is more to come !
