THE DESIGNER
Martyna Kuzara is a Polish designer who studied in Milan with a passion for knitwear design. She uses fashion as a medium for self-discovery. Her personal collections express emotions that resonate with every human being. Conceptual research is integral to her work for Y Studio Design, which always carries a deeper psychological meaning.
THE BRAND
Y studio is a creative label that explores sensual and experimental knitwear design.
It conveys feminine aesthetics but also shows new ways of using knitwear in clothing.
THE COLLECTION
MISFITS is the name of the collection, inspired by the sculptures created by Nairy Baghramian and the ceramic clothing of Zhanna Kadyrova. The concept explores living in between categories—belonging to neither, but having characteristics of both, and highlighting the difficulty of not fitting in. It is inspired by the designer’s personal life, in which she sometimes feels too Italian for her home country and too Polish for Italy. These opposing feelings do not exclude each other but exist simultaneously. In her knitwear and fabric design, she introduces visible mistakes to convey that message.
