My name is Paweł Krzyżak, and I'm from Poland. I'm currently studying game development in Opole. In addition to my studies, I am a passionate fashion and graphic designer, as well as a florist. Despite my enthusiasm for fashion design, I can't afford formal education in this field. I have a multitude of ideas and projects I want to bring to life. I am continuously honing my skills and exploring new techniques. My dedication has already led me to participate in several fashion contests, where I even reached the finals in one of them. Looking ahead, I am seriously considering pursuing a career in fashion. My experiences and achievements so far have only fueled my passion, and I am eager to continue developing my craft and sharing my creative visions with the world. I enjoy working with lightweight and heavy fabrics. I am particularly drawn to fashion in shades of black and gray, but I am not afraid to experiment with colors. I strive to make my designs as eco-friendly as possible by using natural dyeing methods and incorporating sustainable materials.

Silvering

Category: Apparel

Competitions: International

The "Silvering" collection is a dark and intriguing line that combines elements of BDSM, restraints and inspiration from psychiatric hospital garnments. It is a unique combination of aesthetics of darkness and symbolism related to mental problems and psychology. My interest in these themes stems from a desire to explore the human psyche, understand the nature of limitations and express them through fashion. I also want to underline problems that appears in those grounds. The collection draws inspiration from the BDSM aesthetic, where the central motif is belts, suspenders, ties and elements symbolizing restraint and control. Leather accents, metal buckles and asymmetrical cuts highlight this dark yet sophisticated aesthetic. The collection consist mainly from black leather with touches of cotton and linen. Silver accessories are designed to give the outfit a futuristic flare that tells the story of the future. I tried to make the collection as organic and natural as it can. The outfit I would love to present is the silouette number 1 that both shows BDSM and medical restiction parts.
