Smells like teen spirit…

Let me introduce you to Tanja.

I met Tanja as the cool sister of my best friend Maja, 21 years ago. She had finished fashion design in Zagreb, Croatia. Growing up in Macedonia this meant a secure pusher of records, magazines and clothes. She introduced me to the world of Cocteau Twins, Peter Greenaway and fashion illustration.

Couple of days ago I received these photos from her reminding me how life was about 18 years ago: “In Utero” was out, I was a red head, plugged eyebrows student between Paris and new born Macedonia.  

3 months ago Tanja started working with me as my patternmaker.

She is still very fun to work with, likes to cook and dance.
