An Exceptional Fashion Collection by Two Exceptional Personalities. Liběna Rochová is a designer who, with every new collection, not only brings fashion experience but also striking artistic impression. She always surprises without straightforwardly shocking. Lukáš Musil, who works under the pseudonym Musa, was first a professional hockey player and, later, a sought-for tatooer. However, he eventually found this form of visual expression limiting, and thus switched to painting and drawing. This time, the two bold figures combined their creative potential and produced the unique collection, Doteky (Close Touching). Those present at its introduction at the last year's Designblok have not forgotten it yet. The models are ultimately emotive and their utmost elaborated silhouettes remind of graceful statues, sensitively completed by Musa's artistic "interventions". Liběna Rochová's and Musa's Doteky clearly shows that fashion does not need to scream political slogans in order to be engaged and have social appeal and impact. The aim of the collection is to spread awareness about the disease called epidermolysis bullosa and to help the patients, whom it turns into helpless objects more fragile than glass. This is also how the individual looks of the collection appear. However, the impression of them remains unbelievably strong - as strong as the souls of the patients, so brave to fight their handicap, become over time. Lets not fear to be in close touch with them!
