Hats, floating accessories, as I call them, almost volatile and often unnecessary innocent come from the high school effervescent, trainers years, one of my expression variations. I started selling then, to go on stage bigger than my circle of friends, but I interrupted "public exposure" with the first years of college. I studied Film Directing at Media University in Bucharest. Fandacsia remained locked in a drawer, a "script" that you constantly resume to give "pages" of intimate amateur or manufacture accessories that you wear just me. Fandacsia, the brand has germinated in the world when I decided to pull the drawer stifled the project and to submit all.
I work the most accessories in my little studio, with traditional means, and almost archaic. I have wood blocks, steam machine, nails, scissors, hardeners and tools to help me transform inert matter of felt in safe and clear lines, architectural forms that I want. I also collaborate with workshops from two smaller cities of Romania, Constanta and Sebes. In these small workshops work older hatters, which I collaborate with. I believe it is a good way to save a craft, a special way of approaching the finished product, about of extinction to us. They have small rudimentary presses to help me get some forms. All that work goes through my hands, trying to sew as much by hand, I use old techniques and follow a way to create unique objects by effort, with plenty of patience. It is a pleasure to imprint your 'fingerprint' in the materials you processed.
My Inspiration of my current collection is fueled by the fascination of clothing that adorn the head as iconic object of power. Authority declines, in general, like masculine. There are forms representing authority or social level: the crown of feathers of the medicine man, the military cap,the bourgeois-crown hat, Magritte\'s obsession or a sign of divinity. I spoke on these forms, with a slightly ironic comment, mixing elements from different cultures making them, updating them, recreating them. I slightly feminized male costume related accessories. The Bowler hat, a British symbol version is reinterpreted in feathers, wilder. Created this collage, it starts from an established form that overlaps a surprising detail. The misfit crown, became a black mark, of felt, a graphic suggesting royalty but celebrating the beauty, not the rank. Beauty, by the way, is a new form of authority.
