BIOGRAPHY




Born in Belgrade, Serbia in 1983 I moved to Melbourne, Australia in 2003. My strong interest in fashion stems from early childhood.  While initially European heritage played a large part in my development as a designer, later exposure to a new culture in Australia has helped expand my horizons and enhance my creativity. As a result, my work is defined by a combination of eclectic European and more discreet Australian fashion tendencies. I have completed a Degree (Bachelor of Fashion Design and Technology) at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Melbourne Australia in 2011.


In my collections I strive for clean-soft-defined lines that accentuate the beauty of shaped figure always with sophistication and flair. My aim is to create collections, which reflect longevity, and are defined by contemporary and yet timeless design. While I find motifs from nature ever inspiring, my designs also reflect the influence that comes from architecture, namely the interplay of smooth lines with geometrical shapes as well feelings that influence our journey through life.

Work published bellow is a record of self realisation as a designer and an artist.

HER SHADOW WEPT FOR HIM


 Love emotion testimony, passage of time and sacrifice, burdens carried through life and secrets eating away upon.


Marks journey undertaken through one’s existence and strong upfront beheld fearing prejudice.
Same yet ever so differently lived. Stumbled upon, fallen and then risen again it is not often that we see ourselves grow, transform into brand new personas standing winners-witnesses of great battles opening up no longer afraid of what is to come.


The simple yet delicate and defined colour palette of black and powder underpins the soft and elegant nature of the collection. At the same time represents death and rebirth.
Luxurious fabrics used include soft woolens giving protection and security, inky black cotton lace representing web of life, silks reminding us of a smooth ride and new beginnings, always ensuring garments are breathable and kind on skin.
Wearable couture, exceptionally comfortable sophisticated pieces as a reminder of self worth.
