Irina Schrotter (born 1965 in Iași) is a Romanian fashion designer and businessperson.[1]

She studied to become a physician, but in 1990, one year after graduating, she decided to go into the fashion business. In 2008, her company employed 1,000 people.[2] In the same year, her main brand had revenues of 3.5 million euros, but dropped to 2.5 million euros after the financial crisis hit Romania in 2009.[3] According to a 2013 article in Der Tagesspiegel, she is "Romania's most successful fashion designer".[4] She participated in the Berlin Fashion Week in 2012[5] and 2013.[4]

In 2008 she ran as an independent to become mayor of Iași,[1] but withdrew her candidacy before the election.[6]
