Marina Stanimirovic

Today we introduce you to the French, but London based, jewelry designer Marina Stanimirovic. She will present her collection at the FASHIONCLASH designer market. 

Hello, Marina! What inspires you in general?

My everyday, relationships, music, sound, spaces…

What place or city do you find inspiring?

I mostly feel inspired in vast and empty spaces.

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

Hard.

What attracts you about the FASHIONCLASH platform?

I felt that it was maybe more about content, quality and originality rather than blingbling and trends.

What is the concept behind your latest collection?

For my latest pieces, I worked with two differents whites of Corian. The idea was to highlight their disparity with very discreet variations.  It is about quite discussion in between colors, shapes and volumes.

Did you always want to work in the field of fashion?

Not really, and I still don’t really consider being part of it.

Shana Teugels

Today we have the pleasure to introduce you to Shana Teugels, a Belgian contemporary jewelry designer. She will present her work at the exhibition.

Bohemian Rock, Shana Teugels

Hello, Shana! What inspires you in general? 
Nature and everything that’s faking it. 

What place or city do you find inspiring? 
I’d say a toy shop.

What is it like to be a young artist in your city/country? 
It’s fun and frustrating at the same time.

The FASHIONCLASH exhibition is curated under the theme of “Age.” How does your creation relate to this year’s theme? 
I feel like a child playing with different materials and ideas, and some of them refer to me being a young girl. There is no age to creating and playing around.
