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.
