I, Draga Dina, am a textile artist and I create extroverted and colorful clothes, made to celebrate the shapes of the wearer, whatever they may be. It is important to me to ask people to gently step out of their comfort zone and celebrate that we are no longer forced to wear what we can wear. I have an intuitive way of working where I try to create a dream world so that people can experience my world view better. I do this by transforming the spaces where I display my collections to create a dream state where wearers feel safe. My creative process is not result-oriented and moves from my intuition. I often work alone and for this application the starting point is to invite other artists into my immersive environments.
