Boris Čalić│BIG SEE Awards 2018
Inspiration: Zaha Hadid and her opus of round architectural forms. Dresses are often based on diagonal lines, and so are the elements of her architecture.

Lilla Cséfalvay│BIG SEE Awards 2018
Inspiration: Dutch still life paintings from the 17th century and their symbolism. The vanitas-symbols of these paintings refer to the meaninglessness and transience of our lives.

Michalis Stylianoudes│BIG SEE Awards 2018
