concept

We are swept into a three-act story with Slobodan Mihajlovic's collection. The story of heartbroken love, of the joys and perils of love and how these affect our heart. At first, our heart is empty and we invite someone to step inside, we give them our key, trust them with our love. In the second act, Our heart beats only for them, and it beats stronger than ever. But when our loved one leaves, our heart is broken in two and we are fragile. At the same time we seek protection, are willing for a friend to look inside, see inside our mind, help us heal and recover from our need for our past loved one. Slobodan's outfits are an ode to matters of the heart with a focus on knitwear, revolving around the visual aesthetic of the heart itself during its journey of love.
