Cliché
The fashion brand Clichė, under which Jelena Pirkmajer has signed and created since 1991, is synonymous with high-quality materials, individuality and strong conceptual designs, as well as awareness of environmentally conscious fashion.
Dajana Ljubičić

D'Alpaos

IVANMAN
The IVANMAN brand, based in Berlin, was founded by designer Ivan Mandžukić with the aim of creating a combination of classic and avant-garde clothing for men. He sees fashion as a social phenomenon, analyzes it through deconstruction, examines its individual parts and reassembles them.
MÊHLÊ

With their clean, relaxed, but sustainable silhouettes, fashion designer Maja Mehle and visual artist Miha Fabio Kalan leave a strong mark both on Slovenian and foreign soil.

Designer Zlata Zavašnik pays great attention to the design of products and the selection of new fashionable fabrics, and she draws inspiration from the samples of new fabrics, which take her forward with their texture and color.
Sofia Nogard
The concept of the SOFIA NOGARD brand, under which fashion designers Boštjan Mljač and Mija Curk have signed since 2012, is 'timeless archaism'. They reinterpret the atmosphere of Slovenian culture and tradition in a modern way, especially through new materials, shapes, color combinations, cuts, and usability.

The fashion brand SUSNYARA is signed by Nina Šušnjara, whose name has appeared on the Slovenian design platform for many years. The brand describes its story as the interplay between the urban environment and nature, and it also pays great attention to environmental care.
Tanja Zorn
