ss 2017 collection
klara valkova
Often travelling between home town in The Czech republic and The Netherlands, I have noticed that there are several pieces in my wardrobe I always bring with me. A pair of low crotch pants, a pair of leggins with a geometrical print, a T-shirt, a fake leather bomber jacket, a pleated skirt, an oversized coat and a huge scarf.
What makes them so important for me? A comfort that is hidden in effortless simplicity. A little bit of oversize. I have been inspired by scarflike easiness, a moment when a square piece of a fabric with a slit in the middle is folded and twisted around a body. Focusing on construction, I designed garments in a spirit of this transformation – as a sleeve that becomes a collar or slits and openings that show in a very sophisticated and delicate way parts of a naked female body.
