Experimental fusion of Grapphic Design, Fashion and Glass – combination of three fields of study that I underwent during my six years of study at Umprum. 

1. Pattern = Graphic Design – 🧿 Gaphic design studio
2. Material = Glass – 🔮Glass studio
3. Form = Clothing – 👘 Fashion design studio Project on which I have spent my free time in the last year and half 🥲 
This work focuses on expanding and blurring the boundaries between graphic design and other craft or art disciplines, with an attention to the uniqueness of craftsmanship versus the digital world and reproducibility in graphic design. The output is a complete outfit woven from czech (mostly from the deadstock) glass beads.

The Czech Republic is a superpower in the production of glass and glass beads🔮. It has a centuries-old history and international recognition for its high quality and craftsmanship. As with knittwear, I work again on the basis of a raster (pixels), where each pixel is represented by one glass bead. 

No piece of fabric was used to make the outfit, so it is made entirely of glass beads and thread (around 2,5 km and 100 000 glass beads). The whole proces was extremely time consuming. At least it had a relaxing to meditative character…✨ 

The biggest thanks to
Chief stylist @michala_vitkova who was constantly willing to advise me and suffered from my tireless questions and doubts 😇💖
 To my family who helped me put on thousands of beads and without which I would not be able to finish it 🙏🏻💞

To @vendula_niklova, for help with the cuts and for technical supervision 🙏🏻👑

To @terezarosaliekladosova for consultations, very useful feedback and for the opponent's opinion 👼🏻🧚🏼‍♀️

To @vandajanda for providing me with a studio and helping me with weaving 💕


To Umprum for the opportunity to study here and thus create this work 🥲
