Czech tradition. Craft. Sustainability. Local material. Story.
They are the main elements of every garment created in this designer's hands. The majority actually go through them from the design itself, through the pattern making and then to the sewing of the last detail. Michaela creates a garment with fifteen years of experience, during which she spent an internship in London or developed a collection in the middle of the Tibetan mountains, for a local brand focused on weaving of yak and sheep wool.
.. SOMETHING MORE ABOUT ME
I am a clothing designer who, in her work, among other things, likes to test the borders of the overlap between clothing as a used product and a fine art. I create a conceptually comprehensive, limited collection with a sustainable approach. Collections are created with an emphasis on material quality, craft and detail.
I also have been intensively involved in custom making. Since 2020 I creating a bridal custom under label NAŠE.
