Q & A with designer Hana Frisonsova:

How would you describe your work? Have you shown your collections before, if so, where?
I'm focused on the use of traditional techniques with a congtemporary conception like crocheting, macramé, tie-dye, patchwork. I combine expressive pieces with wearable clothes. Each collection is a mix of tradition with futurism, individuality and self-expression. I presented my work for example at Shooting Fashion Stars in Prague, FASHIONCLASH Maastricht or International Fashion Showcase in London. I was awarded the Erste Bank Fashion Award in Vienna and this year I was nominated for Fashion Designer of the Year at CZECH GRAND DESIGN 2014.

Hana Frisonsova

Hana is fashion and accessories designers from Prague, Czech Republic. She grew up with science fiction and hand-made techniques, which she defines as her specializations. Her collection will be showcased during the Fashion Shows.

Hi Hana! What inspires you in general? 
Dancing like crazy, the view from my window, biking around the river, strange encounters. Everything basically.

What place or city do you find inspiring? 
At the moment, I’m inspired by Prague and some of its places are reflecting in my work. I like the strong historical background, the underground places and the contrasts between the romantic side of the city and its roughness.

What is it like to be a young designer in your city/country? 
There is only a small community of designers here. It’s not hard to go public, but it is hard to find customers, money and investors. We are mostly using our creativity to make things out of nothing.
