veuve 2008 - master collection, participation at international competition Top Styl Designer, Brno, CZ

2011-05-06T22:47:00.004+03:00

The collection is base on the research through the works of Jean Nouvel, Zara Hadid, Future Systems, Marc Newson, Yoji Yamamoto and others, in order to help me understand materiality, volumes and textures studies, from the object perspective.

One of the major aspects in my research is also black as the most wanted and liked colour of all times studied in three different corners.

Placed under the world, black expresses the absolute passivity, death cold filling and irreversible. The ultimate suppression of the Black is melted in my concept through the volumes in order to create a visual confusion so that in the end it becomes the humanly old Black.

personal project - inspired by origami

2011-05-06T22:35:00.003+03:00

the challenge was to recreate "the dress" at it is known today using only geometrical shapes and as less sewing as possible.

blouses

2011-05-06T20:22:00.004+03:00

volumes and texture are key elements of my work. I often explore fabrics search for what "they" have to offer me and uncover new shapes and structures.
