What is it like to be a young designer in your city/country?

Being a young designer in Belgium is great, as we are free to express our creativity without any boundaries. And the public is really aware of trends, crafts and Art.

Living and working in Brussels is an experience, it’s like this city is constantly changing.

Label2 by Alen Pinku and Andrea Popovic

Now living in Milan, Italy, the two designers of Label2 are Alen Pinku, originally from Serbia, and Andrea Popovic, from Bosnia. The two met during their studies and started working togther.  

You are from Serbia but you are living in Italy at the moment. How do you perceive those two environments in terms of fashion and style? 
That is quite interesting, and we are very proud about our rich history, which is always present as the idea. At the beginning, both of us had different views, but living and growing up here slowly changed our minds. 

What inspires you in general? 
Music, people, art, details… 

What is it like to be a young designer in your city/country?
It is quite difficult, but we are fighters.
