Asi jedním z prvních závažných zjištní, které dít po narození udlá, je to, že svt se dlí na dv ásti: „tady uvnit” a „tam venku”. „Tady uvnit” je naše vdomí, emoce, vzpomínky, myšlenky a pedstavy, tedy to, co vnímáme a poznáváme pímo. „Tam venku” je všechno ostatní, tedy to, co vnímáme prostdnictvím smysl. Není možné, že existuji pouze já sám a že vše, co vnímám svými smysly, jsou pouze peludy, které neexistují nezávisle na mn? Dekonstruktivismus, poznáváme pímo. „Tam venku” je všechno ostatní, tedy to, co vnímáme prostdnictvím smysl. Není možné, že existuji pouze já sám a že vše, co vnímám svými smysly, jsou pouze peludy, které neexistují nezávisle na mn? /2011/

„Neptej, co máš uvnitř hlavy, ale uvnitř čeho je tvá hlava.“ /William Mace/ Asi jedním z prvních závažných zjištění, které dítě po narození udělá, je to, že svět se dělí na dvě části: „tady uvnitř” a „tam venku”. „Tady uvnitř” je naše vědomí, emoce, vzpomínky, myšlenky a představy, tedy to, co vnímáme a poznáváme přímo. „Tam venku” je všechno ostatní, tedy to, co vnímáme prostřednictvím smyslů. Není možné, že existuji pouze já sám a že vše, co vnímám svými smysly, jsou pouze přeludy, které neexistují nezávisle na mně?

WALKING SILK
Zapomnění. Cesta kam. Naslouchání vlastnímu nitru. Hledání rovnováhy a klidu. Přesun do jiné dimenze, kde se najednou jakoby na chvíli zastavuje čas a obklopuje mne nekonečné ticho.
Photography: Eliška Kyselková

INSTABILITIES
The ‚me‘ I want others to see 2013
INSTABILITIES The ‚me‘ I want others to see 2014
The concept of the collection „INSTABILITIES: The ‚me‘ I want others to see“ is based on my experience coming from the surroundings I grew up in. The life Czech people (especially women) are living nowadays seems to pursue very predetermined goals to study, to get married, to have children, to have one stable job. I look the ways this fact might reflect in fashion. I have become 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.
I studied clothes to the point where I stopped judging people by what they are wearing. For example to meet someone wearing punk style on the street actually does not necessarily mean that person has embraced the punker’s lifestyle. I want to provide my woman with clothes that offer freedom of expression. She decides how to wear them. She sets the limits. She loves to explore herself. Modern.Powerful.Elegant.
Většinu střihů tvoří abstraktní tvar, v podstatě “kus látky”, který může být skládán a dočasně fixován klipy nejrůznějšími způsoby. Modely nabízí mnohé variace, které postupně objevuje nositelova fantazie.
