Divided between two worlds
Inspiration:
In his opinion, fashion is very personal and it should evoke feelings in people. It is not just about wearing a garment. We should adore it. Treat is as a piece of art. He would call his work philosophy divided between worlds. He grew up surrounded by the modern, socialistic architecture, made of sterile concrete structures with no art history or direction. This absence of art made him become an even bigger admirer of especially 17th, 18th century, where he discovered all the ornaments and magnificent artistic skill of the greatest masters of the time. For him it is all about contrasting elements between the brutality of the concrete and the softness of the lines of the Baroque aesthetics and the beauty of magic.
Materials and techniques:

Design: Matic Veler
Matic Veler is a young fashion designer whose approach to fashion is unique in the sense of how he perceives fashion as art, and at the same time tries to avoid massive production of clothes and the well- known fashion industry. The importance of understanding our aesthetics, especially as an artist, and to have a common thread of sticking to one’s work philosophy will always be his priority. Nowadays, art can be very superficial and with no strong background to back it up with a good story. His idea is to buy fashion as an art piece - a statue, not just to wear it and store it in the closet, fashion as piece of art.
