midi skirt – Helen of Troy Fashion

EN: I have designed and sewed this dress, which is a perfect expression of my current tendency towards simplicity with some interesting detail. This detail is always a consequence of the free creativity of the moment (initially, this dress was not supposed to have those details on the sides), and the search for personal taste and aesthetic experience. I think one of the greatest charms in designing and making your clothes is in this process of getting to know your own personality, in learning who we really are, what we see as beautiful, what our imagination is capable of, and where are its limits … A major challenge is to manage your technical skills to follow the spirit and create its ideas in praxis. It is in this gap where hides the potential for comprehending ourselves and progressing.

PS. The string bag is also my design that I’ve continued to develop and improve (photo below). From the same fabric of this powerful, but still delicate print I sewed a classic mid-length skirt for my shop. I just want to introduce it here, but I will present it in a separate post, when I take some close-up photos. Bracelets of false leather are also handmade (a five-minute DIY project).

SR: Ja sam dizajnirala i sašila ovu haljinu, koja je pravi izraz moje trenutne sklonosti ka jednostavnosti uparenoj sa nekim interesantnim detaljem. Taj detalj je uvek izraz trenutne slobodne kreativnosti (na početku haljina nije bila zamišljena sa ovakvim rešenjem na bočnim stranama), kao i traganja za ličnim ukusom i doživljajem estetskog. Mislim da je jedna od najvećih čari u smišljanju i pravljenju svoje odeće upravo u istraživanju sopstvene ličnosti, u učenju ko smo mi zapravo, šta osećamo kao lepo, za šta je u nekom trenutku naša mašta sposobna, a gde su joj granice… A veliki je izazov i svojim tehničkim sposobnostima pratiti duh i ostvaritit njegove ideje na praktičnom planu. Upravo u tom raskoraku je potencijal za samospoznavanje i napredak.

PS. Torbica je takođe moj dizajn koji sam nastavila da razrađujem i usavršavam (slika dole). Od osatatka ovog platna moćnog, a nenapadnog printa sašila sam i klasičnu suknju srednje dužine za prodavnicu, koju ovde samo najavljujem, a predstaviću je u posebnom postu, kad je fotografišem detaljnije. Narukvice od eko kože su, takođe, ručni rad tj. petominutni uradi-sam projekat.
