Hi, I'm Karolina! My diverse body of work exists at the intersection of art and fashion, purposefully emphasizing a dialogue between these two realms. I explore the contextual relationship between humans and clothing in contemporary society, viewing fashion as a socio-cultural narrative. My innate mode of expression involves working with textiles and exploring garment typologies.
An integral aspect of my practice is the incorporation of ethical and sustainable principles, considering them fundamental to responsible design and artistry. I am also a co-founder of two collaborative fashion brands, OVERALL OFFICE in Prague and Daily Menu in Brussels, both dedicated to ethical and sustainable practices. And just for fun, I create costumes!
