Bestiary

Zuzana Vrábeľová- main designer

In Bestiary, I imagine garments as organic beings that can dress the human body. The focus lies on materiality and an intuitive, process-led act of making. The collection is knitted using a variety of manual and industrial techniques through which knitting becomes a generative method, a way of sketching that transforms simple structures into sculptural forms challenging conventional ideas of garment construction. Surface textures evoke bone, skin, or feathers, suggesting a shared language between bodies and garments. Some pieces begin with references to historical dress, but these anchors dissolve as the garment is made, destabilized by the logic of the material. I like to think that they become “animated” through the very act of making.
