Fashion show at Zachęta – National Gallery of Art in Warsaw.

The work and persona of Krystyna Wojtyna-Drouet inspired a group of designers led by Michał Szulc—an experienced designer and lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź—to create a collection of designs drawing on the artist’s body of work, as well as her approach to art and personal sense of style.
The collection features outfits referencing the artist’s famous kilims, her caricatures, and her beloved recurring motifs—birds, trees, and mandorlas—as well as designs inspired by her favorite clothes.
