THE DESIGNER
Klára Kozderková is a designer known for creating versatile clothing under her brand Vanami. Her journey began at the age of nine, when she first discovered her passion for fashion and creativity. Since then, Klára has spent nine years studying fashion, a path that eventually led her to Denmark, where she completed her BA in Design.
Vanami began as a school project four years ago and slowly grew into her passion and full-time occupation. This fall, Klára opened her own store in Prague, where she focuses on building a community around her brand and giving space and visibility to her fellow colleagues and emerging designers.
Klára believes that fashion is a powerful communicative medium, capable of raising awareness about important social and political issues. She focuses mainly on topics connected to feminism, equality, and the experiences of women.
She has always been deeply interested in world news and politics, and she cannot stand injustice. Drawing this connection between her values and her work is what keeps her motivated—it gives her meaning, purpose, and the drive to continue creating.
THE BRAND
Vanami is a small independent studio where everything is created by me — Klára, the founder.
I started Vanami four years ago as a school project to showcase my work, but from the very beginning, I knew I wanted it to grow into a brand. The name Vanami comes from the Czech words “Variabilní na míru”, meaning “variable and made to measure” — a reflection of my belief in adaptability, individuality, and craftsmanship.
Today, Vanami focuses on ready-to-wear fashion built on strong sustainable values. All materials are sourced from deadstock fabrics — mainly from the Czech Republic and Italy — and paired with high-quality vintage haberdashery from Italy.
Vanami releases limited drops of 10 to 20 garments a few times a year (2–4). Each drop forms a small capsule collection designed to be mixed and styled together.
Every Vanami garment is inspired by important social and political themes — created to tell stories and raise awareness through fashion. Each piece carries a QR code that links directly to the story behind its inspiration, inviting the wearer to connect with the deeper message behind the design.
All pieces are made to order, as I rarely keep garments in stock. This approach allows every creation to be thoughtful, slow, and personal — just as I believe fashion should be.
THE COLLECTION
Are Men Feminists? A Qualitative Exploration of Male Allyship in Feminism
“Not Just by Her Side” is a menswear collection born from a deep exploration of male allyship in contemporary feminism. Based on real interviews with men and rooted in personal and societal reflection, the collection challenges the stereotype that feminism is a women-only fight. It brings to light the quiet, often overlooked presence of men who care, listen, reflect, and evolve.
Each piece in the collection is crafted from deadstock and 100% natural fibers, combining ethical responsibility with emotional intention. Silhouettes are timeless, comfortable, and unguarded – reflecting a man who is open, aware, and unafraid to stand for gender justice.
The design language draws from themes of transformation, vulnerability, and respect. Subtle detailing, layered construction, and honest simplicity mirror the internal tension between inherited masculinity and progressive identity.
This is not just fashion – it is a wearable conversation about allyship, accountability, and change.
