Interview With Fashion Model Bozena Zag

Hi there, my beautiful readers! Ever wonder what it’s really like to be a fashion model? You know, jet-setting to glamorous locations, landing modeling jobs left and right, and working with top photographers like it’s no big deal?

Yeah, me too. I mean, the closest I ever got was posing for a family photo at the local fair, trying to look fierce while holding a goldfish I just won. But, as usual, I digress… 😏🐠🎡

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with the one and only Bozena Zag, a freelance model who’s been turning heads and strutting her stuff since 2014. 😎💃✨

Bozena isn’t your run-of-the-mill fashionista; she’s a small-town girl with big-city dreams, and she’s made them come true. All without an agent! 👗🚀🌍

Yep, she’s been booking modeling jobs on her own, traveling far and wide, and bringing her creative vision to life with some of the best in the biz. 📸👜🎨

Now wait, there’s more! Bozena dropped some wisdom during our chat: “The grass isn’t greener on the other side—it’s greener when you water it.” 💡🌱💧

Ok then, friends, if you’re feeling a little parched in your own life, remember to water that grass (or at least spritz it with some high-fashion sparkle) and watch your dreams grow. Just like Bozena’s career! ✨🌟🌷

What is your name? How old are you? 

Bozena Zag - 47 years old. 

Are you on Social Media? How many followers do you have? 

Yes I am on a few. Instagram 23k.

Do you work Full-time or Part-time as a Fashion Model? 

Full Time.

What made you decide to become a Fashion Model? Tell me about your journey.

I was always inspired to be a fashion model but initially lacked confidence and family support. 

After separating at age 36/37, with three young children and no clear direction, faced numerous challenges and rejections. Despite starting late and juggling motherhood, I persisted, investing in a mentor and working on my mindset. 

My  journey inspired others, proving that careers can begin at any age. Now, at 47 successfully working with agencies, launching courses, and sharing my story to motivate others.

    

How many hours do you spend modeling?

Modeling work involves more than just photo shoots; it includes online tasks such as early morning and evening work, booking modeling jobs, and consulting with advisors, all of which they consider integral to their modeling career.

Is fashion important to you? Why?

Yes it’s important to me. Fashion is vital as it boosts self-worth, fosters creativity, and mirrors inner beauty. It enables individuals to shape their surroundings and express how they wish to present themselves and their emotions to the world.

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

My unwavering determination to pursue the vision despite numerous hurdles and slow progress. By continually pushing myself  and securing necessary resources, I gradually realized the long-held dreams. To me , success is defined by  persistence and the ability to see and feel the vision coming to life.

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I’m living my  dream life, having achieved the goals of having children, traveling, and inspiring others. It is possible to pursue multiple careers or passions at any age, regardless of challenges. 

My  mission is to continue doing what I  love while helping and inspiring others, serving as proof that mindset and determination can lead to success.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you model clothing?

The quality, which I have always appreciated, that is important to me.

Describe your personal style of clothing?

Dressy classy-casual style that balances elegance with comfort. My  wardrobe includes fashionable workout gear, jeans paired with tank tops, blazers or cardigans, and dressy pants with comfortable shoes and dresses

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

Spent  many years exploring various brands and designers but have not settled on a personal signature style, as I appreciate a wide range of designers and can't choose just one favorite.

Picture provided by Bozena Zag

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

No I do not.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Love wearing long, slim-fit bellbottom jeans with a tank top, casual top, cardigan, or blazer, paired with comfortable flat shoes or heels, creating a versatile, business-like yet comfortable look for meetings and casual outings

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

There are no "worse trends" for me since everyone has their own style that works and feels good for them.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Key tips for optimizing your wardrobe: regularly edit your closet, hang everyday wear, curate a collection you love, elevate the look of outerwear, avoid non-returnable purchases, let go of unworn items, understand what suits your body type, and organize shelf-stacked items efficiently.

Who is your style icon and why? 

Victoria Beckham's unique, classy, and fashionable everyday style, appreciating her minimal makeup and natural confidence.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

The key to success is a positive mindset, self-belief, and inner peace, which attract opportunities. Though it may sound cliché, but it's proven effective.

A huge thank you, Bozena, for taking the time to answer all my interview questions! I truly believe it’s not a cliché—your confidence and positive energy are what really make you shine. 😊✨🌟

Interview With Makeup Artist Wil Strayhorn

Hi There, my gorgeous girls and boys! Ever wondered if your makeup artist could also double as your brand coach? How about transforming your entire image while getting some much-needed wisdom on how to tackle life’s most complicated topics? 

Picture provided by Wil Strayhorn

www.wilstrayhorn.com

Well, let me introduce you to Wil Strayhorn—a true expert at making people look and feel their best, inside and out. 😊✨💅

With a masterful blend of mindset coaching, image revamping (we’re talking hair, wardrobe, makeup—the works), and a knack for brand coaching, Will is the one-stop-shop for your ultimate glow-up. 😏💇‍♀️🎨

Hey wait, there’s more! Will doesn’t just stop at individual transformations. His podcast, *Let’s Face It w/ Wil Strayhorn & Friends*, dives deep into today’s most trending and controversial issues. 😎🎙️🔥

From personal growth and navigating love and relationships, to, let’s face it, everything in between, Wil’s thought-provoking conversations with expert guests will keep you hooked. 😄💭💞

Now, I must admit, this all sounds like something I’d be thrilled to try myself! After all, this *fall chicken* could definitely use a bit of a feather shine-up. 🐔💫🧖‍♀️

Who wouldn’t want to strut into the new season with fresh plumage and a sparkling new mindset? 🐥👗✨

If there’s anyone who can get us looking—and feeling—our absolute best, it’s Wil Strayhorn. Well then, who’s ready to jump right into this new Makeup Artist interview? 🤩💪🎤

Picture provided by Wil Strayhorn

What is your name, function and the company you work for?  

Wil Strayhorn, Transformational Coach, Let’s Face It (LFI)

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I specialize in transforming individuals from the inside out, including mindset coaching, image coaching, which encompasses hair, wardrobe, and make-up, to name a few.

What made you decide to become a MakeUp Artist?

First, I was a hairstylist and ultimately became a make-up artist as a way to achieve my entire vision for a person’s transformation. 

Rather than having to hire someone to carry out what I “saw,” the time was ripe for me to empower myself as both stylist and artist.

Is beauty important to you? Why? 

Yes, it absolutely is. When people look their best, they feel their best. Harry Winston, a famed jeweller, once said: “People will stare, make it worth their while.” And that’s true—you ARE your walking business card. Whether it’s make-up, hair, attire, or more, people judge based on what they see.

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

I’m still becoming and as a person who started with ‘imposter’s syndrome’ it’s a major success that I’m still standing. COVID took a lot of my colleagues out—out of the field, out of business, and out of line. 

Yet, here I am, still standing, thriving, and excelling 30 years later. To do it, I always look for the possibilities in situations. I stay optimistic. I keep my eyes locked on the goal, not the barriers or distractions.

Picture provided by Wil Strayhorn

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

Have a team! I so desire a team to help scale my businesses to the next level. I’m energized by the opportunity to mentor, train, and coach others. I would love to recruit, hire, and manage a team one day. I aspire to teach globally.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy make-up?

No, not at all. I have a masters degree in marketing so I understand “branding.” Just because it’s name-brand or becomes a ‘household name’ doesn’t mean it’s superior. It’s just great marketing. It’s just knowing their customer, their needs, and targeting to their needs. 

Describe your personal make-up style?

My personal make-up style is a natural, soft glam with a kick. Basically that means that you will recognize yourself when you look in the mirror but no doubt see your BEST self.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I found my personal style through trial and error. I studied heavily, watching and observing all “the greats” in the industry until I discovered my own approach, my own voice, and style. It has become my signature look. 

Specializing in natural looks—not traditional by any means—but a healthy balance between natural, sophistication, creativity, and a pop of tasteful flair.

Do you have an influence on other people’s make-up or clothing style?

Yes, by design—my business is image and mindset coaching. I aim to have an influence on other people’s make-up or clothing style, but do it in a way that it’s a true partnership where we’re co-creating their next best self!

Picture provided by Wil Strayhorn

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Wow—that’s a great question because I do NOT follow trends by any stretch of the imagination. Trends are a money-maker. I teach people to find what works for them—that’s the trend. What works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. So rather than hunt for the next best trend, in my eyes we’re always looking for what works best for YOU.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

The exaggerated eyelashes that look like caterpillars on your eyes. Make-up should accentuate, never distract from.

What kind of beauty advice would you give us?

Great make-up looks best with great skin. So, while you can, take good care of your skin including stay hydrated, stay moisturized, and use sunscreen, no matter who you are. If you have any questions or need support, connect with an image coach like myself who can link you to an incredible network of skincare professionals.

Who is your style icon and why?

Tom Ford. Tom is a perfect mix of masculinity, style, and sophistication. The epitome of luxury.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Everyone can make effort any day. You can put on chapstick, lipstick, perfume, or sunscreen. Everybody’s not going to put on a whole face of make-up everyday. But even an old barn looks better with a fresh coat of paint on it (laughing).

Let’s stay connected and let’s face it: www.wilstrayhorn.com

Thank you, Wil Strayhorn, for sharing your incredible expertise and inspiring transformations! With your talent, we’ll all be making sure those stares are definitely worth it. Keep shining, and thank you for helping us do the same! 😄✨🌟

If you're craving more thrilling makeup stories, they're all set for you. Dive in and enjoy! 💄📖✨

How do you create Easy Brows?

Picture by Seadbeady

Apply a small amount of primer to the eyebrow area. This helps improve the adhesion of the products. Once the primer is applied, you can move straight on to the next step.

Picture by Seadbeady

Step 2: Easy Brows Sticker

Fold the sticker in half; this makes positioning easier. Place the center of the folded sticker stencil at the top of your nose. Peel off the backing and press the sticker into place.

Picture by Seadbeady

Step 3: Pencil and Powder

Gently fill in your eyebrows using the eyebrow pencil, following the shape of the stencil. Next, apply the eyebrow powder over the penciled-in brows. Fill in any gaps or lightly cover the entire stencil area for a fuller look.

My opinion on the Complete Brow & Conceal kit

I wanted to try the Easy Brows Kit because in my opinion it’s crucial to support women experiencing severe eyebrow loss. 😊💪💕

Whether due to chemotherapy, alopecia, aging, skin conditions, or physical limitations, this kit aims to make a real difference. It’s not just about beauty—it’s about helping those who need it most. 💖✨🙌

I have a special place in my heart for people with cancer, as it’s a deeply personal issue for me. 😔🎗️❤️

Cancer runs in my family: my father passed away from colon cancer at 47, both of his brothers also succumbed to cancer, and even the daughter of his youngest sister was affected. 😢👨‍👧‍👦

The impact of cancer continued with the loss of my mother, who passed away from cancer at 74. Given this, supporting those affected by cancer is incredibly meaningful to me. 🌸🎗️💔

Picture by Seadbeady

Now, about this Brows kit. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the result. My scar is barely visible anymore. The only thing that wasn't so simple was finding the right spot to place the sticker, but I suspect it's just a matter of practice. 😊📍🎨

They have a pretty natural appearance. The only minor drawback is that the eyebrow appeared a bit too dark, but that might simply be because I'm no longer accustomed to seeing full eyebrows in the mirror. 🤔🌑

By the way, this complete Brow & Conceal kit is now available for €99,95 instead of €125. The Essential brow kit can now be bought for €79,95 instead of €99.95. 😄💸✨

Remember, they do not have standard shipping to the US, but they can look into it, so don't hesitate to contact them. 😊✉️🌍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Interview with Jewelry Designer Anna Radunsky

Hey there, my jewelry loving friends! Do you know what makes a jewelry designer tick? Is it the caffeine-fueled late nights obsessing over handmade jewelry, or the pure joy of seeing someone put on a ring and feel like royalty? 👑✨😊

Picture provided by Anna Radunsky

https://www.annaradunsky.com/

If you’ve ever wondered why anyone would spend their days hunched over tiny pieces of metal and gemstones, crafting handmade jewelry, well, you’re about to meet someone who does that, and absolutely thrives on it. 💎🎨🤩

I had the pleasure of interviewing Anna Radunsky, a Brooklyn-based jewelry designer who specializes in creating stunning rings that make fingers everywhere feel fancy. Now, speaking of rings, I have a soft spot for them myself. 💍💕😄

I still remember the first ring I ever got. My dad had one custom-made for each of my sisters and me, because he’s basically a jewelry genius in dad form. 👨‍👧‍👧💖😎

Each ring had a different gemstone to match our personalities. Mine was pink quartz because, well, I love red, and pink was as close as he could get without blowing the budget. 🎨😂❤️

I adored that ring. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m totally *not* the sentimental type...ok, I admit… that’s a gigantic lie. I’m super sentimental. You should see me when I’m watching a sad movie. 😭🎬😅

Of course, I’ve kept that ring tucked away safely, even though, thanks to my now larger adult fingers, it’s more of a “keepsake” than an accessory these days. It's a part of my dad that will always stay with me. 🌸💕😊

Well, that’s the magic of handmade jewelry, my friends. It’s not just pretty to look at. It’s packed with stories, memories, and a sprinkle of sentimentality (even for those of us who swear we’re not sentimental… but totally are). ✨💫😌

Just like Anna’s rings, which are tiny masterpieces designed to add some sparkle to life. Ready to dive into the shiny, glittery, and sometimes chaotic world of handmade jewelry? Let’s do this! 🌟💍😄

Picture provided by Anna Radunsky

What is your name, function and the company you work for?  What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

My name is Anna, and I’m the founder of my own jewelry company, Anna Radunsky. I design and create a wide range of handmade jewelry, including rings, bracelets and earrings. 

How old are you?

I’ve turned 30 this year.

What made you decide to become a Jewelry Designer?

I love the idea of being able to create something that I would want to wear myself. Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved wearing jewelry and especially rings. 

Is fashion important to you? Why?

Fashion interests me, but what is truly important to me is how objects make each one of us feel. Beautiful things you can wear, pieces of artwork to see – they create real emotion and can inspire feelings of happiness and calm.

I find this connection between a piece of jewelry and its wearer extremely intriguing.

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

I pour a lot of myself, my time, energy and creativity into each piece of jewelry that I design and bring to life. So, I view each new commission as a form of success, feeling very grateful for each and every one of them.

Picture provided by Anna Radunsky

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I am always trying to learn, and look forward to collaborating with designers I admire, as well as studying ancient crafts and jewelry making techniques from around the world to inform my creative process. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry? 

No, my focus is on quality first and foremost.

Describe your personal style of fashion?

I’ve learned to understand what suits me and I prioritize clothes, jewelry and accessories that are well made. Above all, I choose to wear things that excite me and that I can get really obsessed with. 

It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant, but I truly love things that are so well made that they can last forever. 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

My personal style is constantly evolving along with me, as I move through life learning from each new experience. I don’t think I could ever commit to having one signature look, or rather I tend to change my look from time to time.

Do you have an influence on other people’s fashion style?

I like to think that my jewelry does, although friends and family tend to ask me for advice on broader fashion trends as well. Last year, my sister, who lives in Paris, called me up to ask, “Ok so, what’s THE winter coat gonna be this year?” 

Picture provided by Anna Radunsky

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Patent leather bags, Mary Janes, silver jewelry.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Ugly oversized pendants, Barbie pink, micro mini bags.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Buy great quality vintage or second-hand pieces! It’s cheaper than buying brand new, better for the environment, and you’ll either have a piece that you will love forever or resell it without much of a financial loss if you get tired of it. 

Who is your style icon and why?

My father – he had the widest understanding of fashion and aesthetic in general, and he was obsessed with the smallest details. He always said to take your style very seriously, but to appear nonchalant about it, as if what you’re wearing hasn’t been meticulously planned and considered and just came together by accident. 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

What I’m attracted to in terms of fashion is reflected in what’s important to me when I create my jewelry –  using fine materials that will last forever and making pieces that are well crafted, simple and exciting.

You can find me at https://instagram.com/annaradunsky

Thanks, Anna, for helping me with my interview questions. I totally agree, jewelry can bring feelings of happiness and calm 😊✨💎

Alright, dear readers, if you find yourself twiddling your thumbs and wondering what to do next, why not take a delightful detour and check out some of my previous interviews with jewelry designers? Trust me, it’s like a treasure hunt – minus the map and with way more sparkle! ✨💍

Interview With Fashion Designer Neha Khanna

Hey there, my lovely eco-fashionistas! Do you ever wonder what it’s like to be a fashion designer who makes super cool, eco-friendly clothes? Perhaps you are wondering how you can look exceptional while also helping to save the planet? 🌿🌍👚

Picture provided by Neha Khanna

https://www.fabricakraft.com/

Well, this is your lucky day, because today we’re talking to someone who does just that! 😄🎨💚

Neha Khanna, the Head of Design at Fabrica Kraft, is all about creating a beautiful, earth-friendly fashion that doesn’t hurt the planet. She’s basically like a superhero who turns plants into pretty dresses. 🌱🦸‍♀️👖

I wonder if that's a new concept, though. Didn't Adam put a fig leaf in front of his... well, you know... in the Garden of Eden? 🤔🌳🍃 

No, I’m not that religious, but it does make you think. Maybe Eve could have done it! Who knows? Perhaps she was the one trying to start the world’s first eco-friendly fashion trend! 😄👗🌍

Ok, enough nonsense, but before we dive into our fashion designer’s world, let me share a little secret about why I’m so into this planet-friendly stuff. 🤫💡

When I was a kid, my parents, who were super cool and eco-smart, taught me an important lesson. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑🌿

They used to say; “Imagine if everyone threw just one piece of paper on the ground. Pretty soon, you’d have an entire mountain of trash!” 😨🗑️⛰️

That thought stuck with me, and ever since then, I’ve been all about taking care of our beautiful planet. 🌎💕

So guess what? That’s exactly what Neha and her team at Fabrica Kraft are doing, making sure their designs are not only gorgeous but also super kind to Mother Earth. 🤩👗✨

They make custom, budget-friendly goodies that are as stylish as they are sustainable. 💸🎀

Now, get ready to learn how Neha is turning the world green, one fabulous eco-friendly design at a time! 😎🌱🌟

What is your name, function, and the company you work for?  

Neha Khanna, Head of Designs and CEO Of Fabrica Kraft

How old are you?

39 Years 

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I operate an e-commerce business based in the USA, catering to customers in various countries.

What made you decide to become a Fashion Designer?

I was driven by a passion for creative expression and a deep commitment to sustainability. The desire to merge these two passions led to the creation of Fabrica Kraft, where fashion serves as a platform to promote eco-friendly practices and ethical manufacturing, making a positive impact in the fashion industry.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Absolutely, fashion is very important, and for several reasons:

Expression of Brand Values:

Fashion is a powerful medium through which communicates its core values. Our clothing and accessory lines are not just about style; they're about making a statement on sustainability, ethical production, and eco-friendliness. Each piece is designed to reflect these values, resonating with consumers who share similar beliefs.

Trendsetting with a Purpose:

In the fashion world, trends come and go, but focus is on creating timeless pieces that transcend seasonal trends. We aim to set trends that promote sustainability, encouraging consumers to make conscious choices about what they wear.

Customer Engagement and Lifestyle Alignment:

Fashion is a form of self-expression for our customers. By offering a range of trendy, sustainable fashion products, we enable our customers to express their individuality while aligning with their lifestyle and values.

Brand Identity and Recognition:

Our fashion products play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining brand identity. Unique designs, quality materials, and our ethical approach help stand out in a crowded market, building brand recognition and loyalty.

In summary, fashion at Fabrica Kraft is not just about aesthetics; it's a reflection of our commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and customer engagement. It’s a tool for change, expression, and building a community around shared value.

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

My success story is that I launched a bootstrapped business in the U.S., which now boasts a revenue of $1.2 million and a dedicated team of 40. Over the past three years, we've collaborated with diverse artisans globally, contributing to our significant growth and international reach.

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

In the future, I aim to expand Fabrica Kraft's global footprint, introducing more innovative, sustainable fashion lines and collaborating with a wider network of artisans. I'm also looking forward to integrating advanced eco-friendly technologies in our production processes to further minimize our environmental impact.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewellery?

The name of the brand is indeed an important factor when consumers choose to buy clothing or jewelry. This importance is driven by several factors:

Brand Reputation and Trust: 

The brand name often signifies a level of trust and quality. Customers are more inclined to purchase from a brand they recognize and trust. 

Value Alignment: 

Consumers increasingly seek brands whose values align with their own, especially in the realms of sustainability and ethical practices. 

Quality Assurance: 

A reputable brand name can be indicative of product quality. Name assures customers of high-quality materials and craftsmanship in our clothing and jewellery, justifying their purchase decision.

Brand Loyalty and Community: 

A strong brand name can foster a sense of community among its customers. 

Fashion Statement and Identity: 

For many consumers, the brand of their clothing or jewelry is a fashion statement in itself. 

Therefore, the brand name, especially one that stands for positive and impactful values, plays a significant role in consumer purchase decisions in the fashion and jewelry sectors.

Describe your personal style of fashion?

Personal style in fashion is a harmonious blend of sustainability, minimalist elegance, ethical sophistication, practical functionality, contemporary timelessness, and inclusive diversity. 

This style is not just about how our products look but also about the values and stories they represent.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I discovered my personal style by aligning Fabrica Kraft's values with fashion trends. It's characterized by sustainable, ethically made pieces that are both elegant and eco-conscious. 

My signature look combines timeless designs with a modern twist, reflecting a commitment to the environment and ethical practices in every outfit.

Do you have an influence on other people’s fashion style?

Absolutely, as Fabrica Kraft, I significantly influence people's fashion choices. By showcasing sustainable, ethical fashion, I inspire to make conscious style decisions, blending eco-friendliness with trendy designs, thus creating a ripple effect of awareness and change in the fashion industry.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

In my perspective as Fabrica Kraft, the best current trends are those that beautifully merge sustainability with modern aesthetics. Firstly, there's a growing trend towards using eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled fabrics, which is revolutionizing the fashion industry. 

These materials not only reduce environmental impact but also offer high-quality and durability in clothing.

Another significant trend is the shift towards timeless, classic designs over fast fashion. This move encourages consumers to invest in pieces that last longer, reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable wardrobe.

Also, there's an increasing preference for minimalist and versatile styles. These pieces offer flexibility and longevity, aligning with a more conscious and intentional approach to fashion design.

Lastly, the incorporation of technology in fashion, like digital fitting rooms and AI-based style recommendations, is enhancing the shopping experience while reducing returns and waste.

These trends reflect a broader movement towards responsible fashion, aligning perfectly with Fabrica Kraft’s values of sustainability, quality, and ethical practices.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Currently, the worst trends are fast fashion and over-consumption, which prioritize short-term trends over sustainability and quality. These practices lead to environmental harm and ethical issues in manufacturing. We advocate for conscious consumerism and long-lasting, ethical fashion choices.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Embrace sustainable and ethical fashion choices. Invest in timeless, high-quality pieces that reflect your personal style and values. Prioritize versatility and functionality in your wardrobe and consider the environmental impact of your fashion purchases. Fashion should reflect both your style and your commitment to sustainability.

Who is your style icon, and why?

As Fabrica Kraft, my style icon isn't a person but a concept – the fusion of sustainability with chic, timeless design. This icon represents anyone who skilfully balances fashion-forward thinking with environmental responsibility, choosing pieces that are as ethically made as they are stylish. It's about embodying the ethos of sustainable fashion in every aspect.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Absolutely! At Fabrica Kraft, we're continuously exploring innovative ways to enhance sustainability in fashion. Keep an eye out for our upcoming collections featuring cutting-edge eco-friendly materials and designs. We're excited to share our journey towards a more sustainable future in fashion with you. Stay tuned for more!
