Intensive expression of emotions, thoughts and moods. Such words describe the fashion of Marko.in, created by a young designer of Balkan descent. His work is the result of his dedication and diligence. Unlike some of his colleagues he has not based his career on an Art’s diploma. Rather, he claims fashion to be his life mission through which he wants to bring truth and welfare to the world. His life path started when he began working as a freelance stylist and, as he says himself, it was through school of life that he gained experience. He has been using the skills he learned as a fashion designer since Fall 2012. His models are characterised by pronounced shapes, which are meant to highlight the human body and bring out the inner beauty.
It was nature in which the young fashion designer found the inspiration for the present collection. It emphasises the search for equality as the philosophy of life. The collection emanates from animal patterns, and the motif of a beast is the most common. It is the beast in which the creator sees the connection between the life in reality and the inner spiritual fulfilment with higher power. A beast would kill for life but never for nothing, and it is able to stay intuitive and to follow its inner voice.
The collection has been created for every-day use; the trousers and skirts carry colourful prints while the tops are kept in neutral gold and light beige colour. The only exception to the animal kingdom theme is a dress decorated with images of flaming roses. Although the collection is predominantly female there are several male pieces as well, with prints depicting a roaring lion head. The essential materials of the collection are silk and nylon.
