Bojana Jovanovic

Bojana's collection

What is your name and the name of your label? My name’s Bojana Jovanovic and my name is also the name of the label.

Where did you study? In June 2010 I graduated in fashion design at Mod'Art International in Belgrade.

What is the concept of your collection? What can we expect from you at FCM 2011? The collection is inspired by ornaments and elements of baroque interior. The emphasis is placed on details and their combination. Colors in collection are made of bright tones of orange and purple with combination of pastel colors of pink and white. You will be able to see "play" with different shapes, forms and textures which create avant-garde, but in same time is ready-to-wear models.

What is your name? Diana Tax

What is the name of your label? I don't really have a label yet, but it will probably be something with my own name (Diana Tax) or the name of my last collection (FSHRMN)

Where did you study and when did you graduate? I've studied at Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam and I graduated in January 2011.

What inspires you as a designer? I'm most inspired by fabrics, and especially knits. I love what you can do with knitted fabrics. You can make a design, you can make ladders in a knit. Sometimes a use of a metallic yarn is enough to make something special. I also like weaving and the ausbrenner technique, but my main interest is knitwear. And I'm also inspired by things around me, and stories from the past. My last collection (which will be shown during FASHIONCLASH Maastricht 2011) was inspired by fishermen ganseys and the stories behind the ganseys.
