GIAKIARA

Giakiara is a Slovenian swimwear brand for all types of figures and all types of women who want something different with a touch of sexiness. For now, unlined swimwear is available (the designer swears by the fact that a woman should be as natural as possible and that she should be comfortable). She is inspired by everything related to the sea, oceans, travel, etc., as well as "Australian fashion", which she likes to be inspired by, because it is always one step ahead of European fashion. Its recognizable material is velvet lycra, which dries perfectly. Giakiara is currently still quite a small brand both in Slovenia and abroad. Mateia Kogoj, who creates these beautiful swimwear, also had a few orders for foreign countries.

FONGY FONGALISHES

Blaž Pogačar is one of the young talents who is interested in many things in life. Sam says: "Everything from a sewing machine to a rocket." Fongy Fongalishes is a brand under which we find products that consist of recycled material. It works according to the principle of old for new, which awakens the value of an old product in a new guise. This gives the product specialness and uniqueness. Its design makes you stand out, as it is elegantly classic, but at the same time colored with different color shades. A great example is the CC01 wallet in the form of a cassette that has been discarded or forgotten. This is based on reviving old discarded items with an emphasis on new secondary use and represents a new fashion for wallet design that changes its shape and utility.

Brina Vidic

Designer Brina Vidic entered the field of fashion recently, as she previously studied art design of glass and ceramics at the Ljubljana Academy. With an artistic and design background, he brings refined and minimalist elements to his clothes, which are manifested in refined and timeless practical or experimental creations. The Dedicated to daydreaming collection deals with states of human consciousness and the symbolism associated with them, which the designer analyzes visually and linguistically. The clothes therefore carry a story and are intended for women who want comfort, elegance and freedom in daydreaming. The collection was created on the basis of sleeping clothes transferred to the living room, and in this way the designer blurred the line between what we wear at home and what we wear outside, on the street. You can see her collection live at the fashion day on August 25 as part of the Urbano Dejanje festival.
