COLLECTION 03

2023


A small European country with an ancient tradition and a permanent population exodus.
In most families the question of moving has been an issue since childhood, associated with
the right choice. In our last collection, we wondered what would we want to keep ourselves if
we had to leave our home? Analyzing and reworking childhood memories about village visits,
seasonal harvesting, traditional customs and daily household, we combined it into a new
collection.
Large part of the collection images have various lapels at the bottom. Lapels imitate the
folded hem of the garment for storing fruits during the seasonal harvest. They also have a
functional sense – the snap button fastening allows to bend or fold back the hem of the
garment.
Collection looks are completed with curved metal hairpins and earrings, reflecting light like
mirror elements on the Moldovan houses facades. Some garments have rounded necklines
and petal overlays. The shape of the flower and its petals are chosen due to its traditional use
in local architecture. Usually it decorates the gates or complements the house frontage.
The Moldovan house is minimalist and artistic in its details. White cloths hang from the
ceiling over the door, pillows in pillowcases are arranged on the bed.
Typically, the casual look is completed with an apron, in a more traditional way called a ‘fota’
Aprons complete some of the collection looks - both knitted, worn over a sweater, and silk
over a skirt or trenchcoat. In addition to hairpins and earrings, collection is decorated with
headwear – representing a simplified form of a wreath. For us, the "wreath" head accessory is
an accessible part of craftsmanship and art. All pieces are created by hand: from modeling the
frame to fabric covering of the shape.

Images and childhood memories, when reality closely intertwined with dreams. The cozy checkered wool and theatricality characters. A trip out of town during the holidays. Melancholy and nostalgia.

Canvas as a final look.
