Fashion Designer of the Year
CHATTY
Radka Sirková and Anna Tušková, who work together as Chatty, have created their own version of a contemporary woman through their several recent collections - a woman who is unafraid of experimenting but at the same time does not want to feel inappropriate in her own milieu.
She wants to be perceived as courageous, but does not desire to be incomprehensible. Just like the Flying Cholitas, the unique movement of Bolivian wrestlers referred to in the first nominated collection, determined by dark colors, prolonged coats and narrow, feminine and more traditional silhouettes. Contrary to the second collection, Kids, which Chatty very successfully introduced at the Kiev fashion week to present a woman who is more joyful and more lighthearted and is in long-term contact with the topical trends and streetstyle fashion. Stripes, camouflage suits, denim, pajamas, much more relaxed and oversize silhouettes – that is the style of the woman wearing this collection. She wishes to remain childishly playful, but she is not childish at all. Last but not least, it is worth mentioning that the two collections were highly acknowledged by two different language editions of Vogue magazine.
