2. WHIPLASH
Whiplash is a women haute couture collection of evening gowns, that is in-
spired by the period of the last years before the 1.st world war; the French and
Belgian Art Nouveau, English Aesthetic movement, that was droven by
Industrial revolution, Freud`s Psychoanalysis, decadence,... and for the first
time, art wasn`t directed by religion anymore.It is a period, that has a strong
impact on my crative process. With it`s refined and perfective style with prevail-
ing ornament, there is always something new, not seen before, though the style
was spread all over the world and existed in number of varietes.
Mucha, Guimard, Horta, Beardsley, Liberty, Tiffany and The Aesthetic movement
with his main representative Oscar Wilde drove the line of the collection to a
tiny details. It was the `whiplash`, typical curved line, that was transformed
into number of shapes, first in 2D on the paper and then in 3D on the body. The
relation between plane 2D shape, illustration and 3D, the body, that is repre-
sented in space, was the red line of the creative process. How to transform an
illustration, drawn with a pencil on a paper into materials, details, forms in
space? How do I see the specific pencil line in shape, materials, fabrics? The
materials are strongly natural, mainly silk, with the adds of seacell, tencell and
banana fibers. Colors are dull and soft, varying from very bright to dark, but
never totally black, just like the colour pallete of Mucha`s paintings and prints.
The collection consist of 9 evening dresses and each of it has at least one de-
tail, that is hand made. Four dresses were realised for the use ob my Bachelor
degree.

11. MEES
Collection MEES ( = Memories of Ending Endless Story) is a collection of jump-
ers that was inspired by dreams, memories and personal identity. It came into
existance under the influence of my last years on university. U used parts of my
school collections and projects, that made the biggest imact on me and they
all have one common point, that is, playing and experimenting with patterns.
Acctually, modelation and patterns are my strongest adut through all my col-
lections. Accordingly I used dull colors and soft and transparent materials, just
like dreams or memories, that are never clear, even though they can be quite
strong.
Collection consist of jumpers with the touch of Art Decco, made of soft cotton,
silk and viscose jersey and 2 transparent silk dresses, that are supplemented
with pants and bodys from cotton satio in everlasting color of champagne.
MEES is elegant and timeless collection, that highlights evelasting female ele-
gance and allure.

15. UNSUITABLE
Unsuitable is a project from my last years on university, influenced by
questions about society, civilization and historic moments. Aren`t the time and
the historic moment those two elements, who define us who we are, how do
we behave, how do we dress…? Aren`t we all manipulated by the time and
system we are living in after all?
From the history of mankind, we can see, that, in different time periods and
under different regimes, people had different values and moral norms. Isn`t
in a way the matter of fashion to manipulate masses as well, so people could
felt as part of a group? Are trends really connected to specific historic mo-
ments, or is that just our illusion?
A good example, that got me into thinking, is movie, Czech dreams. It is a
parody about capitalism, talking about crowds of people, who flock towards
imaginary shopping center. Another case that touched me, is Markis de
Saad`s work Incest. He speaks about the impact of family members and the
surroundings on the development of human personality.
Where to draw the line, what is the border between a handful of individuals
influencing masses and society, influencing individuals?!?!? The system as such
(political, economic, etc.) has the power to affect person`s perception of the
world, sometimes even distorted. And on the other hand, there is society, the
crowds, who are guiding individual`s thinking and behavior.
I was playing with the idea of manipulation of shapes and materials in the
following collection. How could one material define the shape of other? I real-
ized that with heavy, strong and solid leather shapes, that can either function
independently and deforms women body, either giving shape to soft, trans-
parent and light silk muslin. Colors vary from white to dark brown in sepia
spectrum, like old pictures, who are telling us stories about the past.
