Ines Drole NANDA ~ fashion designer
I am a freelance fashion designer, but fashion is not my only inspiration. I express myself through different media, liberating liberating content of the creative process itself encourages my innovative modus operandi. I explore different materials, but textiles are my favorite. I look for emotions in the universal pool of creative ideas to reinterpret them in my own way. I go after the pleasure of metamorphosis into a refined balance of aesthetics and visceral sensuality, as allowed by the specificity of a certain material, be it clothing or textile interior decoration.
In 1987, I graduated from the FNT University in Ljubljana and later in 1992 obtained the title of independent fashion designer. I follow the feeling for the synergy of form, color, space and purpose, my creations are inspired by the subtle design of the phenomenon of nature. The textile medium gives me the opportunity to transfer this genuine originality from the environment into my creations.
I have made some thematic fashion shows and fashion perfomances. It is my pleasure to create a stylish image of people, interior, and event, as well as consulting and bespoke textile creations. Sometimes I also present myself with a solo or group exhibition of decorative artworks.
