Fashion is a manifest which gives a reflection on every individual, differently. I believe that there is no definition for fashion. Takeing that into the account, I create my designs based on different elements of inspiration. Designs created are products of ideas and combinations of elements both culltural heritage and urban pieces of everyday life which surounds us. Man has evolved through the ages and according to that, the requirements for dressing have been in different forms through out time. I will dare to say that today, you can't create something new in fashion. All the designs have allready been seen, and they will not change any time soon. The transformation will be visible through the existing designs and the choices of colours and fabrics. The job of every designer is to reveal to people his ideas, different creative solutions and to intrigue, finally to awake the interest for fashion in every individual. Stjepan Čuka
