"Me and the machine" is a fashion design duo based in Zagreb, Croatia.

For us clothes are not just passive cladding for the body - they are a person's "second skin" - not only as a metaphor for shelter, also at the same time as the way of expression and communication. All organisms need an outer covering to serve as a barrier between themselves and the environment. It is only the human being that has been able to devise additional membranes or "second skin" of our own choosing.
We are preoccupied with space, volume and creating a shelter for the body, we approach garments as sculptures/3D objects or as architectonic constructions because both fashion design and architecture deal with creating space and volume out of two-dimensional materials, although on different scales.
Inspired by the space that surrounds us, every collection has a story behind it and comes as a result of researching.
Of course, besides the design and production coming from our side, a personality of one who carries it determines the final "touch" to a piece of clothing.

Latest Collection

NEONation

In this specific collection the inspiration was found in the city, the media environment, and advertisement lights in the context of sensation, abstract emotions and artificial energy.

NEONation is a generation of all of us who grew up in an urban environment, a kind of an environment in which all our senses are bombarded by the ads, sounds and (artificial) lighting.

Neon shades and fluorescent Plexiglass details are used as inspiration by the technology that is disappearing and being replaced by the newer ones, such as neon light objects and fluorescent lighting, elements that are currently often found in galleries as a tool of artistic expression. We placed these elements into the contemporary urban environment – city streets. Therefore, they took on an entirely new form and a context of a fashion object, while conveying the message and refreshing the memory of the city where, until recently, neon signs were simply inevitable...
