Avant Provocateur fashion collection – PhD project
The subject of my PhD thesis is „AVANT PROVOCATEUR – fashion as aesthetic rebellion „. In 2012 as a result of my study, research, creative thoughts and experience my PhD project started taking shape. In Avant Provocateur fashion collection I am trying to blur the harmful boundary between people with and without disability. The collection consist of eight corrective garments intended for all women. I would like my clothes to be the medium through which non-disabled people will explore the world of people with disabilities and get used to it. I belive, that main role of the role of the clothing is not to beautify the body of a person but support its physical condition and health, make the body feel comfortable. This way the art of fashion would make a lot of sense. Therfore, my entire collection has a sporty character. Clothes are mainly made of medical and healthy materials. I used healthy wool fabric, lycra, breathable fabric with silver ions, beneficial health mustard seeds for filling and splinting thermoplastics. In 2013, I organized a photo session of the collection at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. I used the set design created for the exhibition „Square in […]

Manifesto
Manifesto – ideological design is responsible for a better life for everyone. In 2010 I had an exhibition at the Department of Stage Design at the Academy. I showed two installations. One, called „ACCESS” – pointing out the lack of infrastructure adapted for people with disability on campus at the Warsaw Academy. Two reflective strips were glued to the stairs to match the spacing of the wheels of the wheelchair. Second installation was „MANIFESTO” – my ideological manifesto presented on the mirror aiming to awake a reflection on the subject in the viewers minds. The exhibition heralded the „AVANT PROVACATEUR” project. In 2011 I added Fashion Design to my area of expertise. To acquire additional skills required I completed Sewing and Clothing Modelling course. Thanks to this I could make all my garments for „AVANT PROVOCATEUR” myself.
