Ko so na agenciji Pristop predlagali, da bi predstavila nekaj kosov iz kolekcij slovenskih oblikovalcev, ki jih najdete v Maxiju, sem bila počaščena in izredno vesela, saj so med znamkami, ki so tam na voljo, tudi tiste, ki so vzbudile mojo pozornost že na MBFWLJ. V zbirki resnično vrhunskih kosov jih je bilo težko izbrati le nekaj, a sledila sem predvsem svojemu stilu in pripravila štiri stajlinge, ki najbolje odražajo mojo osebnost. Tokrat vam predstavljam prvega.
Izbrala sem Atelier Terra Urbana hlače, suknjič in t-shirt ter dodala torbico Marjete Grošelj. Terra Urbana je znamka, ki me je izredno navdušila že na modni reviji. Modna oblikovalka Mateja Benedetti in grafična oblikovalka Saša Kladnik, sta srce in duša te znamke, ki prisega na trajnostno modo. V njuni kolekciji Birds of Paradise, ki jo najdete tudi v Maxiju, in ki sta jo kot gostujoči oblikovalki pred kratkim predstavili tudi na Toyota Fashion Week v Zagrebu, so najbolj navdušujoča oblačila iz usnja, ki to ni, saj je narejeno s pomočjo posebne tehnologije iz odpadkov jabolk v Italiji. Tudi ostala oblačila so narejena izključno iz ekoloških, naravnih in certificiranih materialov, kot so ekološki bombaž, ekološka svila, bambus in ekološka volna. Nekatera oblačila so razrezana z laserjem, da dajejo videz čipke, vezenine pa so ustvarili v podjetju Ercigoj z digitalnim tiskanjem na osnovi vode in brez težkih kovin.
Mateja in Saša dokazujeta, da so oblačila lahko moderna in ekološka obenem. In prav to je tisto, kar me je najbolj navdušilo, poleg tega, da so njune kreacije resnično nosljive, lahke, prijetne na otip in lepe na oko.
*Vsa oblačila in modni dodatki, razen tistih, ki so moja last, so na voljo v blagovnici Maxi, Trg republike 1, Ljubljana
Atelier Terra Urbana, JSP, Akultura, Draž, Cliché, Marjeta Grošelj, Julija Kaja Hrovat, Romi Bukovec, Sens, Sofia Nogard, Srečko Molk and Tanja Zorn are Slovenian clothing and accessories brands, which were presented at the recent Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Ljubljana.
When I was asked by the Pristop agency to style some of the pieces from the collections of Slovenian designers on my blog, I was really flattered. Especially because these are the brands that drew my attention at MBFWLJ fashion show in the first place. In the collection of truly excellent clothes it was hard to choose only a few, but I stayed true to myself and put together four outfits that best reflect my personality. This is the first one.
I chose Atelier Terra Urbana pants, jacket and t-shirt and a handbag by Marjeta Grošelj. Terra Urbana is a brand that I was extremely impressed with already at a fashion show, since I haven’t heard of them before. Fashion designer Mateja Benedetti and graphic designer Saša Kladnik are the heart and the soul of this brand. They are dedicated to sustainable fashion. Their current collection Birds of Paradise includes clothes made of leather, which it is not really leather, because it is made from apple waste with the help of special technology provided by their Italian partner PelleBelle. Their clothes are made exclusively of 'organic, natural and certified materials such as organic cotton, organic silk, bamboo and organic wool'. Some clothes are cut by laser, to give the appearance of lace, meanwhile the embroideries are created in the Slovenian embroidery company Ercigoj with water-based digital printing, free of heavy metals.
Mateja and Saša prove that clothes can be modern and eco friendly at the same time. And this is what I was most impressed with, in addition to their creations being truly wearable, lightweight, pleasant to the touch and beautiful to the eye.
