He says: “I’m live in Łódź – postindustrial city in the centre Poland. The most inspiring for me are my surroundings: town full absurities, local bazaar “Bałucki Rynek”. But most of all my friends: models in these pictures. In this collection I applied original projects of prints replicated on fabrics and knitwear by the method of transfer. They are accompanied by recycled materials derived from overcapacity or rejected due to defects. I also used blanket with tiger, cut up sweaters, fabric samples, leftovers, from which I made patchworks or applications afterwards, by drawing various stitches with sewing machine. I made use of clothes from the second-hand shops as well (in their entirety or of singular components, for instance sleeves). I made collages out of these garments. I create and sew everything on my own, sometimes by hand, while ignoring or turning a blind eye to modern rules of tailoring. My clothes are created apart from fashion’s world seasons.”
