Katarzyna Konieczka

Polish avant garde fashion designer Katarzyna Konieczka creates costumes you would only find in your dreams. Often the type of dreams called "nightmares"... Her creations have won several awards, and been seen in fashion magazines. She says herself that her creations "are mainly to be viewed on a stage or a catwalk. The main aim of my designs is to create an impact on the viewer and evoke feelings. The costumes are not for everyday use. Each costume has been created as a one off, the techniques used to create them have been developed by myself, by experimenting with textiles, fabric and paint........I never use fabric straight from the shop. The main motifs in my designs are asymmetry, destruction, dramatism, macabre."

This is what I call "fashion as art"!

  2. This is Art! The photographers have also done a great job, every photograph is so brilliant, full of atmosphere...they do really bring these clothes and installations to life...as she said, the main purpose of her designs is to awoke feelings (in a way a work of art would I might add) and she certainly does that.
