When we are small we want to grow up quicker. Instead of climbing the tree, running all around and acting silly we are watching our parents or older sisters and brothers. Smoking, swearing, make-up, alcohol, sex.
We are dressing in our mothers cloths that bigger us, we cutting our fathers cigars that after want to try, repeating after our older sisters and brothers bad words and after got into the corner, because our mom heard it.
We are trying to grow up quickly. But even in my generation we weren’t this extreme as children of nowadays. They are starting smoking at 11 and having sex at 13. Adult are cursing TV, but the problem is in them. We looking at them and repeating after them. Children want to grow up, but after we are grown ups we want to be child again. It’s a circle of wishes, all our wishes are diverse – in childhood we want luxury necklace that our moms have, when we are adult we want a Barbie doll and we will buy it for our children only because we can play with it as well.
The message is that children don’t try to grow up, because it will happen anyway and while you are still a child just enjoy it. Because when you grown up you can’t scream in the middle of the street or be naked when there is a crowd of people around.

My collection is built on emotions and children’s wear clothes. I’m using such details as lace flowers, peter pen collars, wallpaper ornaments in my collection, that are inspired by my and my parents childhood. I wanted my garments to look oversized, but still sensitive, so we can get the feeling of the little child-wearing parent’s clothes.
