I come from Goriške Brd, where I grew up surrounded by tradition, homeliness and wine. I have always loved to create and that's how I ended up studying Textile and Clothing Design at NTF. I participated in the Young@Squat collective, and then I was an independent designer. I get inspiration from everywhere. I am particularly drawn to details that tend to be overlooked. I enjoy good movies that take you to a completely different atmosphere. By nature, I am an undercover romantic and nostalgic.
What does a presentation at LJFW mean to a designer?
It is certainly important for a designer to present his work to an even wider public and what better way to do it than at LJFW!
Inspiration, an idea for the autumn-winter 2016 collection?
The idea and whole story behind the collection revolves around naive young love.

What problems do you face when designing the Fall-Winter 2016/2017 collection?
The only problem that is often present is time.
How many times at fashion weeks?
I presented myself at LJFW several times. First as part of NTF school magazines, then several times as part of the young collective Young@Squat and finally as an independent designer. In the framework of the NTF magazine, I presented myself 2 times as part of my undergraduate studies and 2 times as part of my master's studies. I presented myself for the autumn/winter 2012, spring/summer 2013 and spring/summer 2016 seasons.
