“National costume” – sketch collection 2007

The inspiration for this collection was the Lithuanian National Costumes.
I analyzed 5 different Lithuanian regions suvalkija, dzūkija, žemaityja, klaipėdos kraštas and aukštaitija, where their traditional costumes are very different – even colors and ornaments are very different.
For every individual dress I combined several aspects from the National Costumes into one dress and tried to bring new insiration into something very traditional.  So every single dress below has got several hints to the 5 regions National Costumes – some of them even got touches from all 5 in one dress.

“The Ballet”-Sketch collection 2006

The Ballet
The inspiration for this collection was the ballet.
The costumes were specially created for the stage. The main part of every costume is tutu (ballet tutu), which is also used as an inspiration for even the collar. The most suitable fabric for these sketches is stiff organza, which will make a beautiful play with the light. The costume should also be decorated with handmade embroidery.
