Poetry of the Body is an authorial fashion collection exploring the symbolism of the female body, intimacy and sexuality in Slovak folk culture. It draws on research into folksongs, rituals, customs and magical practices, reinterpreting them through contemporary fashion. The collection combines donated and found materials, handcrafted textiles and traditional textile techniques, connecting cultural heritage with a personal artistic vision. The resulting garments balance tenderness, humor, corporeality and ritual.
