What made you realize that you wanted to work in (fashion) design?
I was always passionate about clothes, since my childhood years I read fashion magazines and loved the idea that you can say so much through the way you dress, make a kind of a statement. Besides, I was a part of the modern dance group, for 10 years and we were participating in different kinds of dance competitions, so for each choreography, we had different costumes, it was a really fun way of expression. I was used to the mixture of sound, movement, and costume forming a whole, in order to tell a story. But the idea of me being a fashion designer came later, when I graduated my MA in finance and all of my friends were starting their career in corporations. Then, I realized it’s now or never time for me to make a change in my life, so I enrolled to fashion design course at Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design. So far, I think it was the best decision of my life.
Why did you choose fashion?
I love the idea that you can tell people a story or show them what it is you are about, without the need to speak. That’s the beauty of it.
What would you say are your main achievements in your career?
I have just graduated Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design and my graduate collection met with great enthusiasm, I won media award and a special award for creativity and visionary during Cracow Fashion Week. This is something that convinced me that I am on the right path. Another big thing for me is FASHIONCLASH Festival, I am so honored that I will be able to show my work among other excellent designers from all around the world. It’s something that I am definitely looking forward the most.
What are your sources of inspiration?
I believe that you can be inspired by anything. It doesn’t matter what the content is, it just matters that you expose yourself to something new and explore new things all the time. I love going to museums, especially to see modern art exhibitions, for me, it’s an endless source of inspiration. What I love about art is that’s really subjective, one person might see something in someone's work that other people don't see. A concept, sometimes just one small element of an artwork, a color can start a process in your subconscious, which will flow out to your mind during the design process.
Why did you decide to participate in FASHIONCLASH Festival 2018?
It's an amazing opportunity to show my work among other incredibly talented designers to a broader international audience. I am super excited to be a part of it, especially because it will be my first international fashion show.
