ATAMANSHA
Brand ‘ATAMANSHA’ represents free spirited woman. She is wild and fierce, but still a woman of an extravagant and urban taste. Intense, but sensual.
‘Galina’ collection is neoteric, a bit futuristic apparel with sharp shapes, containing elements of Cossack costumes, spattered with Slavic ornaments.

JOVANA MARKOVIC
Jovana Markovic’s collection for SS19 is inspired by the concept of being a woman. Celebrating the female beauty and strength, the collection is fully made of natural fabrics – it is transparent, see-trough, light and soft. The implemented colours in the silk such as green gives a defining contrast to the neutral tones that are present all throughout the collection. The contrast represents the initial inspiriation/idea – the synergy between female softness and strength
