INSTABILITIES  – “The ‘me’ I want others to see”

“My concept is based on my experience, coming from Czech Republic and spending time abroad, studying in The Netherlands among other. I became aware of the clash between clothes as fixed stable objects with familiar shapes and meanings, and the fast changing faces of fashion in the world at large. It made me want to stop categorizing people by what they are wearing. Instead I look to offer women true freedom of expression; she decides how to wear my clothes. She sets the limits. I reduced the patterns to abstract shapes, basically a piece of fabric that can be folded in any way one likes. Clips are used as a temporary mode of construction, which gives the collection its sense of temporality and instability. The choice of strong colours is a reference to the way we consider clothes as a tool for communication, with predetermined meanings.”
