about me
I consider fashion a form of art, and I see design as a personal way of expressing my emotions and thoughts about the world. A solid intellectual foundation is important to me when creating a collection. I want my work to not only provide visual pleasure but also encourage reflection. The forms, colours, textures and types of materials used result from the ideological assumptions of the project. At the stage of realising my vision, I allow myself to experiment with techniques that are new to me, which allows me to expand my skills and constantly develop. The clothes I create are unique and aimed at a brave recipient.

He/She/They
He/She/They
The aim of the diploma thesis was to express one’s own point of view in an important social aspect, which is inclusiveness.
In line with my convictions, I wanted this artistic statement, despite the fact that it touches on an important, difficult, and for some even controversial subject, to have a positive overtone.
A significant factor is the educational element including introducing the audience to the LGBT+ community, outlining the history of men’s attire and showing its diversity in order to free men from the shackles of stereotypes, and presenting the concept of transgression as a way of positive, building progress.
Nights and Days
Nights and days
The collection was created out of fascination with the film “Nights and Days” directed by Jerzy Antczak based on the novel by Maria Dąbrowska.
The main character Barbara Niechcic – a woman full of contradictions, became the leading inspiration during the design. Individual silhouettes refer to her emotional states and feelings, starting from joy and innocence, through overprotectiveness, ending with sadness and mourning.

My firts pret-a-porter collection available for sale. Design based on traditional solutions used in a new way, allows a multiple styling of single elements.
Double-sided and modular products open up prospects for numerous applications in our wardrobes.
Thanks to thought-out, universal constructions everybody can wear these clothes regardless of their gender, body type or personality.
Between
Between
This collection is the result of the analysis of changes in understanding sensuality, which took place in the twentieth century and the answer to the need to define the contemporary aesthetic tendency.
Collection focused on the human’s body and relations between covering and showing, between sensuality and perversion. The main feature of these projects are architectural, simple constructions with geometrical lines which emphasize the figure in a nonliteral way.
According to the theory of transgression, which guided the creation of the collection, to develop, one must go beyond the comfort zone. In this case, the comfort associated with getting used to specific aesthetic canons.
Carousel
Carousel
The collection is a variation on the feeling of riding a carousel.
Excitement and fun combined with uncertainty and disorientation.
Blurry images changing at a rapid pace. By combining these experiences with the aesthetics of baroque-style carousels, I created contemporary designs that can be combined in any way to create your own visual story.

Bodymap
In these designs, the body lines are emphasized by geometric cuts and original embroideries inspired by isolines. Just as isolines connect points on a map of the same value, my clothes, through their universality and uniqueness, connect the people who wear them.
Choclate Trio
Choclate trio
Inspired by one of my favorite pleasures, which is eating chocolate, I created the “Chocolate Trio”.
Limiting myself to just two materials that contrast not only in color but also in texture, thickness and transparency, I created three silhouettes. Female bodies emphasized by sensual cuts emerge from under clothes like chocolate flowing out of the silver foil that envelops it.
The sensual experience of eating is equated with the orgasmic cult of the body.
Theatrical Costumes
The Haunted manor
The haunted manor
In the shadow of the Haunted Manor, there are Polish afterlife worlds, dark museums of martyrdom, family portraits that come to life and frighten.
Using the patriotic and liberation context of one of the most famous national operas by Stanisław Moniuszko, the performance takes up the subject of the body – manifesting, dismembered, crippled, which frightens and deters, and is perhaps a carrier of unconscious, deeply rooted traumas.
carmen
Carmen
Based on the 19th-century novella by Prosper Mérimée and its operatic adaptation by Georges Bizet, I explored the boundaries between sexuality and sexualization, which reduce human existence – regardless of gender – to the category of the body-object.
An imperfect body that requires correction. A provocative, tempting and disgusting body. A body that must be tamed. The body – its physicality and biology – is the most important tool for building the message and the presented world.
Acting creations and stage presence originate from physical action and corporeality, and movement and choreography constitute the main element of the performance.
Giselle
Giselle
“Giselle” is a choreographic performance, and at the same time a comedy and documentary. The performance consists of two parts and two different sets of costumes were created for it. The first costumes combine ballet-core and exaggerated features of each character. The second are a variation on the theme of dream visions and hallucinations, like flying monsters with lamps instead of faces. These designs were created from non-standard materials, such as IVs, syringes, or cable ties.
