Last year, at the end of their 4-year course, students of our Fashion Design department faced the CHALLENGE of designing their own clothing line. The concept was based on creative visions mirroring historical events related to Ljubljana bourgeoisie. The final-year students applied their interpretations to items of clothing in an authentic portrayal of history we have forgotten, or one that is yet unfamiliar to us. The pieces exhibit creativity, subtlety in interpreting the theme, and run the gamut of designing solutions exhibiting added value, ranging from deconstructed couture, cyanotype printing, and floral motifs to accentuated textures, details, and textile painting.

Third-year students accepted the CHALLENGE and contributed the study of a shirt given that it holds an important place in Slovenian clothing culture. The students wove the past and the present of shirts into their own creations while also adding reflections of their inner world.
