Bol Fashion Of Nature by Oana Lupaș

Out of love for NATURE, I want to transcribe the emotion and pass it on.

BOL Fashion Of Nature is reborn from my desire to decipher the mysteries of the surrounding world and mirrors the art of observing life in all its forms.

BOL Fashion of Nature is an elegy for life and an ephemeral beauty, composed with intense patience and a sensory tempo.

A brand from Transylvania, which aspires to outline an innocent, playful and curious character for creative people with fine feelings.

Enter the Cabin

THE CABIN is a brand that has behind it two visionaries, united by the desire to transform refined aesthetics into a manifesto of the balance between classic and unpredictable. In their universe, the bow tie is not just an accessory, but a symbolic element that crosses the boundaries between masculine and feminine, giving each piece a special character.

The new collection explores the idea of ​​responsibility in fashion, emphasizing sustainable materials and a design that transcends the ephemerality of trends. The white, beige and black chromatics metaphorically reflect the life cycle of a piece of clothing, from creation to the disappearance imposed by the consumerist rhythm. Through this vision, THE CABIN proposes a timeless aesthetic, in which precise cuts and subtle deconstruction become a way of expression.

Tudor Halațiu

For those who don’t know me, my name is Tudor Halațiu and I am one of the young Romanian designers. I studied fashion design at the Faculty of Decorative Arts and Design in Cluj-Napoca at the bachelor’s level, and then I came to Bucharest where I continued my studies at UnArte, at the master’s level and later I started the steps through which I set up my personal brand with small but sure steps. When you are active in the creative field, it is quite difficult to describe yourself in words! In general, the clothes I create convey 99% of my story. A good story in this field begins with a bold character that perfectly captures a successful action! Over time, I have come to believe that every designer is born with this aspiration, to create something fantastically small, and the result that I enjoyed when I was a mini Tudor was to have the most beautiful dolls, and today I end up being among the most discussed names of young Romanian designers.

The Tudor Halațiu brand is and will always be a brand that speaks of visual power expressed through extravagance. Along with extravagance comes the word power, because in this industry I believe that visual power propels you to the top of the best designers. The enemy of the word “good” is the phrase “very good”, and this very good is associated with power. I have never wanted my brand to be positioned on a lower level and I strongly believe that the efforts I make to make this brand shine day after day are supported by the activity I present in the online environment, in the care I have for my story to move forward in a clean manner, but also the characters I associate myself with when it comes to projects. I believe that it is very important to know what you want to convey as an individual and a fashion designer, and I believe that at the point where I am, I have reached a maturity clear enough to realize that fashion is closely related to socio-political and socio-cultural events taking place globally. Over the years of activity in this field, I have come to strongly support that the most important and strong concepts in fashion are those that directly refer to the stages in human evolution, starting from self-knowledge, spirituality, sex, etc. I have an affinity for the mystical and spiritual area in which man is integrated, concepts that I integrate into all the collections that I propose both on the runway and in the ready-to-wear collections. This is one of the elements that makes my brand recognizable, in addition to the explosions of sequins, the abundance of metallic shades, the bold associations of textures and the bold silhouettes that I propose.

Tudor Halațiu’s creations speak of confidence, courage, power and success! Success requires courage, and for me success means solid and very well-defined values ​​for the path you choose. I believe that at the moment the most important value that both my personal brand and I as a designer have is the fact that I have always been a person who stands out in any context. This comes with the risk of trying new areas and experimenting with modern aesthetics in the direction I follow when creating my collections. In addition to this, there is also the courage to express my style in an original and recognizable manner, given that in a room where there would be 100 clothing items by Romanian designers, my product is very easily recognized and would certainly stand out. I follow a very solid principle in this industry, a principle with which I also educate my personal brand, namely: “it takes courage to dethrone the Tudor Halațiu aesthetic”. Some people would perceive this as a self-access, but I only correlate it with the courage to do something different.

Returning to values. I do not believe that the values ​​​​as a personal brand can be established right from the beginning, but I believe that they take root along the way, depending on the image and message you want to convey. When I stepped into this field, I did not know even 1% what values ​​​​my identity as a designer would be built on, but after a few years spent in this industry, I consider that my main values ​​​​that I have acquired are integrity and originality. On a personal level, I have become a much bolder and more radical person, and on a professional level, I have become much more professional thanks to this recipe. I consider myself a very lucky person in this respect, because I don’t have to struggle too much to carry my story forward. It tells itself and sometimes words are not needed. The self-confidence that I have honed in recent years allows me to speak about myself and my work in superlatives, and because I am so sure of the power I have as a designer, in some situations words are superfluous.

Lenca

LENCA is a brand founded by Elena Vanghelici, a graduate of the National University of Arts in Bucharest. The name LENCA is a derivative of the name Elena from the Aromanian culture, passed down from generation to generation in the designer’s family, where tradition requires grandchildren to inherit their grandparents’ names. Therefore, the name itself keeps the past alive and confers transcendence to the present.

LENCA started from Elena’s desire to expose her own vision of femininity. The image of femininity has changed significantly with the status of women in society, and as a result of these “revolutions”, iconic shapes have appeared in fashion that the brand integrates into the modern wardrobe. Thus, LENCA is about a symbiosis of the past with the present, about shapes, colors, textures that make a statement and about women who are not afraid to propose bold outfits that will stand out regardless of the context.

Sannat

Natha SANNÀT is a fashion designer and creative director of the conceptual brand SANNÀT, which explores identity, emotions and inner states through form, silhouette and construction.

Operating at the intersection of avant-garde wearables and contemporary design, her creations combine artistic expressiveness with functionality, transforming personal memory and symbolism into a modern visual language.

The SANNÀT brand stands out through strong silhouettes, conceptual details and limited production, emphasizing individuality and intentional creation.

Scapadona

The brand was created as a result of the passion and need for freedom and ease in today’s lifestyle and wants to offer these things through a design that stands the test of time. SCAPADONA creates clothing items that bring comfort, with a subtle, elegant approach.

The brand’s aesthetic proposes classic and clean lines, decorated with elements such as flowers, draperies, textured fabrics or prints. Whether they sometimes become strange, romantic or masculine, the brand’s clothes always fit into concepts inspired by the relationship between factors such as nature and emotions. The designer’s origins in a city on the Black Sea coast inspired a true love for the sea and its poetry, which can be persistently observed in most of the brand’s stories.

By creating vulnerable, SCAPADONA builds a certain feeling that comes with wearing clothes. The brand believes in individuality and creates with the aim of helping its customers feel confident, free and strong.

The founder and designer, Andreea Ivan, a graduate of the National University of Arts in Bucharest, put her vision into practice by addressing all of these and instilled certain values ​​in building the brand, such as respect for heritage and history, responsibility, sustainability and well-being. She believes in the dual quality of design – decorative and functional, so the pieces she creates are designed to satisfy both sides.

The aesthetic style approached is light, natural and eclectic. Regarding the succession of collections in particular, the stylistic atmosphere of the products remains faithful to the concept of each collection. Hence an unpredictable chromatics, the use of mixes of prints and textures or spontaneous combinations of materials. The defining aesthetic style for the designer is based on the idea of ​​challenge, unpredictability, stylistic subtlety.

The collection that launches the brand coincided with the designer’s bachelor’s project. Undersea River had a concept built around the idea of ​​duality and contradiction, metaphorically derived from this suggestive natural element: a river inside the sea – a sweet, fast-flowing river in a salt and static water. The idea was born from the designer’s personal interests that are linked to the sea and water both aesthetically and conceptually. Stylistically, the direction of the collection was a mature and precious one, fine, subtly approaching the chromatic side, the textile factor and the games of manipulating them.

From here, the brand launched itself in a transitional process, towards the idea of ​​Ready-to-wear and towards collections that encompass both artistic pieces and the practical and functional side. All products are designed in accordance with the needs that the brand aims to satisfy, namely those of comfort and refinement, for a contemporary, but still nostalgic, sensitive lifestyle.

irina schrotter

Modern sophistication, refined elegance, avant-garde details, diverse silhouettes, versatile products, impeccable execution, all made out of respect for a large and demanding clientele – these are some of the characteristics of the irina schrotter collections.

With over 30 years of experience in the field of fashion and creative industries, Irina Schrotter, the founder of the eponymous brand, has built a brand anchored in the Romanian fashion industry, with its own stores and factories (over 800 employees) but also with a constant, consistent presence in over 17 countries.

The irina schrotter brand is an official supplier of the Royal House of Romania.

irina schrotter creations have been presented at the most important specialized fairs in Paris, New York, Milan, Berlin. The press folder with numerous articles in prestigious publications such as: Vogue Germany, Style, Das Modebuch, Berliner Zeitung, ELLE Germany, ELLE Romania, Harper’s BAZAAR Romania, reveals the impact of the catwalk collections presented at Romanian Fashion Week Iași (in all 12 editions), Mercedes-Benz Berlin Fashion Week (2011-2013), MQ Vienna Fashion Week (2013-2019), the Romanian Pavilion in Shanghai 2010, the company’s own showroom in Milan, etc.

Aurora Gongescu is Head of Design, with Ella and Raul Lazar in her team. The brand’s specialized workshop has been formed over time and has reached a high level of execution of complex products.

Andrea Tincu

Andrea Tincu is a Romanian ready-to-wear brand dedicated to women who appreciate complex patterns, original prints and sophisticated finishes. The aesthetic specificity of Andrea Tincu collections is the combination of Art and Fashion, respectively the harmonious combination of contemporary, geometric lines with feminine details. The prints, which provide individuality to the brand, are the result of the creative fusion of art, literature and fashion. Behind them is an elaborate creative process – from graphic sketch, hand painting to the final, digitally processed product. The creator of the collections is designer Andreea Tincu. She made her debut in fashion early, in 1991, when she began collaborating with various fashion houses in Iași. In the following years, Andreea became the designer of important brands in Romania, and in 2007 she created the first collection under her own name. In 2014, the initiative to rethink the Andrea Tincu lines took place. Thus, an “e” was dropped from the brand name, to indicate the orientation towards the global space, Andrea being a name often used by many nationalities, which simplifies the impact of the name for foreign buyers.

Each product is carefully made by a team of specialists. Production and creation are carried out exclusively sustainably and ethically. The collections are made from natural materials, representing the guarantee of a quality ready-to-wear product. The first Andrea Tincu collection was inspired by the works of Man Ray. It was presented in 2007 during Romanian Fashion Week. Amsterdam, London, Kiev, Vienna, Athens or Bucharest are just a few of the many locations where Andrea Tincu collections were subsequently presented. In addition to presentations, Andrea Tincu is a brand involved in numerous projects in the field, such as Mode Fabrik- Amsterdam, Fashion Forward, within TCBL 2019, or Romanian Textile Concept.

In 2015, the designer created the Andrea Tincu Silk Scarves line, out of the desire to offer her clients a fragment of Art in a fashion product.
Designed with various themes, Andrea Tincu scarves are the favorite gift of many Romanian design lovers, literally traveling to all corners of the world. The brand’s motto, Painting Dreams, was inspired by the surrealist artistic canon. It also represents an imaginary bridge, which was created in the years, connecting the first Andrea Tincu collection, inspired by Man Ray, to the current ones.

With over 20 years of experience in the field, Andreea Tincu is constantly concerned with innovation, directly involved in everything related to the brand, including marketing and styling directions. She is part of the category of The One Hundred designers, such as Dries Van Noten or Rei Kawakubo, who are directly involved in all departments that ensure the smooth functioning of the brand.
