Hello everyone! I am Eliška - 25 years old creator based in the Czech Republic. I graduated MA studies of Fashion Design at the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art in Pilsen recently. I am interested in fashion design in general but mainly I am keen to work with vegetable tanned leather. I enjoy improving myself in craft and learning new techniques and skills.

Main inspiration for this project was taken from nature and it's overwhelming and extraordinary shapes, particularly of tree bark, rocks and plants. The collection aims to be design and functional as well. Only vegetable tanned leather was used. It means during the tanning process only natural tannins are used to color the leather. Accessories are in orange color considering fashion trends Resort and SS 2023 where orange is repetitive. Vegetable tanned leather is great due to its qualities as a possibility to shape leather by wet molding technique which I used in this project. As an accentuation of craft, hand knitted pieces were created. The collection should evoke respect for material and its origin and willingness to appreciate the value of the product.
