Pètro

As a child I have travelled many times in different places in Balkans. In each of these times I have appreciated the beauty of this region. What fascinated me the most is the region’s vision of craftsmanship. You can see it that everything is about human touch and this is very close to my culture of how I grew up. People in this region believe in tradition; however they did not use such special talent to move into the future. Tradition in the region of Balkans, especially with a focus of costumes that are made of weaved loom, form an integral part of our identity. Collection which at its root integrates weaved in loom fabrics and traditional designs and motifs by transforming them into everyday wear, is the best connection with the past. Thus, through this collection we get a sense and an answer to questions of identity, such as ‘Where Do We Come From?’.This collection offers a creative expression of a place, region, and culture that is unique and if it is not promoted it risks of going extinct.

Strong part of this collection is weaving in loom and the restriction of width from loom,which is 60cm.From this restriction,silhouette of the garment is created with no cut,with the same width as the loom.Silhouette is defined from this restriction.
