Atelier - Pattern Cutting, Womenswear, Accessories

Hi, I'm Magdalena, a fashion graduate from Northumbria University. I am a womenswear designer, specializing in pattern cutting and tailoring. I like exploring new and intricate shapes and motifs and moulaging them on the stand to create innovative and creative designs. I am a maximalist, adopting various techniques, such as meticulous pattern cutting, tailoring, laser cutting, etching techniques and colour blocking. My design aesthetic is a juxtaposition between masculine hints and feminine silhouettes, ultimately creating structured feminine looks. I like to explore versatility in garments through multi-purpose transformative designs, that offer endless possibilities for styling and wearing.

Back to the roots

Competitions: International

Introducing BACK TO THE ROOTS, a sustainable fashion collection that beautifully marries contemporary pattern cutting methods with the rich heritage of Bulgarian craft. Drawing inspiration from the intricate geometric forms and motifs found in traditional Bulgarian rug making and weaving, this collection is a heartfelt homage to my roots and the strong women who have shaped my life. Through meticulous pattern cutting, tailoring, laser cutting, and etching techniques, I have reimagined and breathed new life into these age-old patterns. Colour blocking techniques ensure that my garments remain vibrant, while multi-purpose designs offer endless possibilities for styling and wearing. From versatile dresses to functional aprons, each piece tells a story of creativity, tradition, and respect.
