Maison de Bonneterie

I began my blog in November, 2009. I was studying graphic de-sign, but felt the constant urge to do something more…fashion. That is where afterDRK.com happened. With the intent of appealing to all fashion seekers, especially the ones that are born with a slight appreciation for simplicity - but always with some sort of edge) - I built a platform to share all things fashion.What fashion means to me is actually quite cliche, it is a way to show the world who I am. It is something that I occasionally use to experiment and perhaps even inspire people with. The best thing about fashion is that it is ever-changing and there is always new things to see and to discover.When I started my blog, I never expected it to become what it is now, let alone become my full time job. It has so far brought me too many great opportunities and experiences - including becoming a regular at several international

Fashion Weeks - and of course this amazing collaboration with Maison de Bonneterie.

When Maison de Bonneterie asked me to design a bracelet, my inspiration came from mov-ing in together with my boyfriend. Our style is pretty much a simple mix of everything we bump into and I am slightly obsessed with all things industrial. When we hung up our old Czechoslovakian factory lights, I got an inspira-tion boost from the toolbox - so many items that could function as perfect jewelry pieces. Industrial yet refined.

Dreams really do come true.
