Morana Krklec - Fashion Workshop

👗 Fashion Workshop with Morana Krklec – Upcycling & Garment Deconstruction ✂️ The core idea of this fashion workshop is recycling and upcycling – rethinking how we can give clothes a second life, instead of replacing and discarding them too easily. Morana will show how garments that no longer work for us – don’t fit, feel outdated or boring – can, through simple interventions, be turned into something new, wearable and exciting again. The focus is both on form and function: a dress can become a tunic, top or vest; trousers can turn into a skirt; a shirt can be transformed into a light jacket or kimono‑style layer. Changes can be minimal (shortening, slits, asymmetrical hems) or involve full deconstruction, completely redefining the silhouette and how the piece is worn. 🔧 What should you bring? one (or more) of your own garments you’d like to transform a pair of scissors, preferably dressmaking scissors, for clean cuts in fabric; it can be agreed whether participants bring their own or the organiser provides them There will be no sewing during the workshop, so having good scissors is key to making the final result look neat and intentional. 👗 About Morana Krklec – Designer and Founder of MO design The workshop is led by Morana Krklec, a fashion designer and creator of her eponymous womenswear brand, active on the local scene for more than a decade.
