A collection of unique "pret-a-porter" linking together elements of hand tailoring, knitwear and artistic recycling. Fabrics used in the collection are muslin, silk, pleated polyester, impregnated laces, satin and hand-painted patchwork made of scraps of Haute Couture fabrics. Although dominated by the range of milky-white the collection gradually turns into a stone-gray tint going into the black basalt. This mineral color range is inspired by ancient Greek sculpture, particularly the history of Pygmalion and Galatea. Another important inspiration for this collection is a dance. Characters such as Isadora Duncan, Pina Bausch, Josephine Baker, Vaclav Nijinsky, have affected the forms and styles, which borrow some elements from the dancers' costumes ... such as leggings, tunics,tutu. lookbook styling: Sara Milczarek | photo: Magdalenia Łuniewska | model: Małgosia P. / Model Plus
