Innes Dudakova: The Art of Becoming

From the runways of Paris to the cobblestoned heart of Vienna, Innes Dudakova embodies the evolution of contemporary luxury — where refined craftsmanship meets the quiet strength of timeless style. After a successful career walking for some of fashion’s most renowned designers, she now stands at the helm of Dudakova & Co, an Austrian boutique that has become a sanctuary for true connoisseurs of designer footwear.

Founded in 2014 in Vienna’s historic first district, Dudakova & Co reflects Innes’s unique aesthetic: discreet glamour, architectural beauty, and an unwavering passion for luxury shoes. What began as a personal fascination in the ateliers of Paris has evolved into a statement of vision and identity — a curated universe where every detail, from the scent to the marble texture, tells a story of sophistication and soul.

The boutique’s logo, designed by Giovanni Agosto, captures the brand’s contemporary and refined essence, while the interior — envisioned by French designers Jerry Pellerin and Kevin Caprini — merges French delicacy with Viennese charm. Pastel hues, brushed metal, marble, and oak blend together in a serene symphony of light and space.

In this Numéro Switzerland cover story, we step into the world of Innes Dudakova — a woman whose journey from model to entrepreneur redefines what it means to walk with purpose. Through her vision, beauty becomes not merely something we wear, but something we inhabit.
