B3 – be free or not to be- a group of three designers from Poland
1. Please give us a short description of your current collection that you are showing at MODEPALAST.
B3’s current collection has got a vintage look – a lot of crinkled effects, washed-out fabrics and smoky colours. There is a strong emphasis on tie-dying, which gives the clothes a unique look. We have prepared a special line called “Recycling”. It consists of outfits made from parts of other clothes, which were cut, deconstructed and put together as something completely different.
2. Send a picture of your favorite spring outfit?
3. Where do you live and work? How is the situation there as a designer?
We live and work in Cracow, Poland. This city has got an artistic and historical spirit and an ambience one of its kind. Cracow is a wonderful city, but, as freelancers, we could live and work in any place in the world.
Being a fashion designer in Poland is not an easy job. The memory of times when shelves in shops were empty and buying a pair of jeans or a printed t-shirt was only a dream, is still alive in our society. Therefore, the insatiable need for world-famous clothes’ brands is the main impulse while shopping.
The Poles want to be dressed in a fashionable, not necessarily original way. However, this situation is changing slowly. There are more people, who want to be dressed differently, who seek originality and new ideas in fashion. They choose designers’ labels, which offer unique and interesting outfits. This group of people is still very small compared to the western countries, but it’s growing bigger all the time, making designers’ work more profitable.
