The reason I consider Stanka a great designer is that she is very personal and wants to get to know you, so she can then shape an idea about you, what kind of a dress would suit you, and what you like.

Her persistence and search for new challenges are not exhibited only in fashion, but also in her passion for traveling, even when that means driving for thousands of kilometers in Australia, Tasmania or New Zealand, or climbing the summits of Nepal or Peru. During these travels her camera captures precious small traveller details. It is this great sense for subtle details that makes her exceptional and unique creations so special.

Fashion performance in the fully crowded auditorium of manor Rotenturn, organized by fashion designer Stanka Blatnik, MA, with guests, was unprecedented. Such event has not been witnesed in Koroška yet and for this record there was nothing to choose or compare it with. Stanka Blatnik, who has won the contest of Slovenian designers for Miss Slovenia twice, this time cleverly used the organizational skills and also presented a broad range of her creativity. There were more than forty performers, and more visitors than at the Ljubljana Symphony Orchestra concert.

She has courageously crossed the line between fashion and design, which wants to be more than just a trendy way – a modus – how and what to wear.

It was a visual experience of the aesthetics of theatrical performance in terms of performance and choreography solutions. Textiles have become the second skin of young bodies, they transformed into living tissue and in front of us and we experienced the myth of nymph Daphne, who is turning into a tree. In all other aspects, the performance seemed to be full of baroque, yet subtle and fragile like the famous Bernini sculpture (Apolon and Daphne, 1621) from the precious white marble. As the sculptor was able to portray the unrest of a scared stone nymph, also Stanka Blatnik captured the beating bodies and the fabric “skin”.

Stanka Blatnik’s performance was not an experience of fancy or unique design – it was more. It was an artistic event, worth the room where we encounter art.

Fashion designer Stanka Blatnik Blagotinšek specializes in customized clothing, tailored to the individual’s personality and physical characteristics. Stanka also has her own hallmark that she is recognized for – creating patterned clothing that started as an experiment during her years of studies and remains recognizable to date.

Stanka is an artist, designing both experimental and usable clothes. The main theme of her clothes is the recognition that is reflected in the experiments that go beyond of what is known. Like silk in combination with jeans. It seems Stanka even surprises herself and plays with structures, colors and precise modelations that lead to new expressions she doesn’t plan. In addition, she is a needle master, which means that she sews all her products herself. The elements of her clothes are fit for the stage, but when woven into a shirt, the shirt remains a shirt. But it’s a Stanka Blatnik’s shirt.
