THE DESIGNER
Petra Kubíková is a Slovak fashion designer based in Bratislava. She graduated from the Fashion Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava in 2015. Typical elements of her work include the stylization of shapes, simplicity, combinability, and neatness.
She finds inspiration in Japanese culture—especially Tokyo and its atmosphere—as well as in music and art history. Petra considers the materials she uses and their properties to be principal and determinative factors in her work. She works with natural materials such as wool, cotton, and leather, among others.
Petra draws from a wide range of experiences gained through fashion competitions, exhibitions, and shows held not only in Slovakia but also in the Czech Republic, Hungary, New Zealand, Belgium, and England. She received the Best Fashion Graduate Prize upon completion of her bachelor’s degree, and her diploma collection earned her the Fashion Live Fresh Designer Award. In 2018, she was awarded the NOIZZ Fashion Award for the most popular designer in Slovakia.
THE COLLECTION
The AW26/27 collection reflects the journey of designs created by Petra Kubíková over the last ten years. It has been ten years since her university graduation and the official establishment of her brand.
Petra is analyzing her creations with the goal of creating a completely new collection consisting of the strongest designs that have defined the aesthetic of her brand. She takes into account the needs of her clients, societal changes, and experiences she has gained over the past years.
AW26/27 is a spontaneous yet logical continuation of SS26, focusing on volume and the contrast of structures to create ready-to-wear pieces, drawing inspiration primarily from art, music, and nature.
