Fashion

Towards the end of my studies, despite my endless love for design, I seriously wondered if I even wanted to be a designer, because the way the fashion industry works is not close to me at all. Something compelled me to persist, to find different ways of doing things and to make people aware of all this. I want to create socially responsible, local and sustainable clothes. I don't want to define myself in terms of the season, the purpose or the target group of the clothes. When creating my collections, I always start from myself and from my personal life.

During the previous state, almost every housewife had a sewing machine at home, if not more. Mothers made us clothes, blankets, Christmas tablecloths, checkered kitchen curtains, and we, as small children, carefully followed their every move as they sat at the sewing machines. At least once a week, one of the family members wore something new and enviable from the neighbor. The fascination with the fact that an individual can create a piece of functional clothing has remained to this day. Of course, first of all, all of us tried our hand at designing clothes for barbies.

I grew up in a creative environment where both my father and grandfather are tailors. I completed my undergraduate studies in textile and clothing design at the Faculty of Science and Technology. In my design approach, I like to interweave tradition with modern technology. I am no stranger to laser cut, bold forms and interweaving of different materials. I have already presented my works at numerous exhibitions at home and abroad and have received recognition for special achievements from the University of Ljubljana. In September 2016, I start studying women's fashion at the Royal College of Art in London, where I have been accepted for a master's degree.
