Birgit C. Müller is an Austrian-born fashion designer, Emmy-winning costume designer, film producer, and philanthropist whose work has left a lasting mark across continents and creative industries. Over the course of a dynamic and diverse career, she has moved seamlessly between the worlds of couture, film and television, humanitarianism, and sustainability, proving herself a force of style, innovation, and conscience.
EARLY INFLUENCE AND EDUCATION
Born in Vienna and raised in the cosmopolitan setting of Marbella, Spain, Birgit was immersed in art, culture, and high fashion from an early age. She was exposed to European couture through her mother, often attending Christian Dior shows as a child. These experiences helped develop her eye for sophistication and detail. Fluent in several languages and international in spirit, she grew up surrounded by creative minds, art collectors, and influential patrons.
Her formal education reflected her wide-ranging interests: she studied journalism, publicity, and promotion at the London College of Printing, followed by television direction and production at the prestigious BBC Television Training Academy. To further deepen her understanding of style and construction, she pursued fashion design at West London College. This multidisciplinary education helped shape her distinct approach—one that combines editorial aesthetics with narrative and character development.
FROM VOGUE TO HOLLYWOOD
Birgit’s early career began in the publishing world, working as a fashion editor for Miss Vogue Germany. Her editorial sensibility and flair for emerging trends soon landed her freelance assignments in some of the world’s most prestigious fashion magazines, including Vogue, Elle, and Vanity Fair. These opportunities helped her transition to Los Angeles, where her talents caught the attention of major Hollywood producers.
Her breakthrough came in the world of costume design, where she flourished as a visionary storyteller. Over the years, she collaborated with some of the industry’s most legendary directors, such as Francis Ford Coppola, William Friedkin, David Lynch, Ridley Scott, and Michael Bay. Whether working on commercials, music videos, or feature films, her costume work consistently added depth and dimension to screen characters.
EMMY-WINNING SUCCESS IN TELEVISION
In 2001, Birgit accepted a role that would define a major part of her legacy—costume designer for the CBS daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful. Known for its glamorous fashion and dramatic storytelling, the series became a perfect platform for her creative vision. Her work was both groundbreaking and meticulous, influencing the wardrobes of characters watched by millions around the world.
She won three consecutive Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Costume Design (2004, 2005, and 2006), a rare feat that established her as one of the foremost talents in her field. She also received additional Emmy nominations and a MUAH (Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild) nomination, further cementing her reputation for excellence in visual storytelling.
HIGH FASHION ENTREPRENEURSHIP
In addition to her work in costume design, Birgit launched her eponymous couture label, Birgit C. Müller Couture. Her designs are characterized by refined silhouettes, luxurious materials, and timeless European elegance. Her clients include celebrities, businesswomen, and philanthropists, and her gowns have appeared on red carpets, at galas, and in fashion shows across the globe.
Her couture work is not just about glamour—it’s an extension of her belief that fashion should empower, inspire, and reflect one’s individuality.
ADVOCACY FOR SUSTAINABLE STYLE
Passionate about environmental issues, Birgit is a leading voice in sustainable fashion. She founded the platform Your Style, Your Impact, which encourages individuals to make eco-conscious fashion decisions that align with their personal values. She has spoken widely on the role of fashion in climate change and partnered with innovators like Adi Cohen, founder of Anywear, to bring digital solutions and AI into sustainable design practices.
Her vision includes fashion with purpose: elegant design that is ethically made, technologically smart, and environmentally responsible.
PHILANTHROPY AND THE THREE DOVES FOUNDATION
In 2006, Birgit founded The Three Doves Foundation, an organization dedicated to humanitarian relief, education, and disease prevention. Through the foundation, she has organized fashion shows, charity auctions, and wellness events that have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for causes such as disaster relief, child welfare, cancer research, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Additionally, she has collaborated with celebrities like Eva Longoria and Mario Lopez on fundraising efforts and events that merge culture with activism.
VERSATILITY IN FILM AND PRODUCTION
Birgit’s storytelling talents extend beyond fashion. She has worked as a producer on socially conscious films, including documentaries like Pripyat, which explores the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Her work behind the camera reflects the same commitment to narrative and social relevance that defines her costume designs.
She brings a director’s eye and a humanist’s heart to each production, helping to shed light on stories that matter.
