concept

Davorka developed fashion that smells of riot, insurgence, controversy, nonsense, wildness. She was intentionally in a crazy head mode, merging street style with haute couture. She used poshy materials with trashy prints, and viceversa. This was not about creating clothes, rather about destroying fabrics by accident during sudden urges to cut things. A cute bubble printed dwarf princess outfit is turned into sexy tops with extreme cleavages, to be hated by normal fashion consumers and fit for “unsuitable fun loving sluts”. A concept? Davorka’s concept was to ignore it.
