Autralian fashion week
Karla Špetić Fall/Winter 2014. collection
Like, like, skip...LOVE! This best describes how I discovered Karla Špetić collection on Instagram while following Fashion Week Australia shows coverage. Two hours later I was clicking away and magnifying piece by piece on this young designers online shop admiring her past and current collections, bookmarking pieces I am starting to save for as of tomorrow!
Croatian-born but Sydney based Karla, beautiful enough to be a model herself, launched her namesake label in 2008 at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, just two years after graduating from the Sydney Fashion Design Studio.
Karla's pieces are playful, minimalistic, modern and very wearable, adored by girls and women from around the world which confirms her prestigious stockist and media coverage gained so far.
“I’m actually still trying to figure out my style. I do like clean things; I like simplicity. My pieces aren’t complicated.”
Said Karla for The Weekend Edition
Karla came to Australia as a refuge from war struck Croatia in 1993. with her family when she was just 10 so now she feels more at home in Australia, however since her family is still in Croatia she feels like she has two amazing home countries to call her own.
“When I was little my dream was for the war to end in Croatia. That’s what I remember because my childhood years were spent in Croatia before the war, and after the war I realized I didn’t have a childhood at all. It was a nightmare. I just wanted to live in a happy place.”
When asked what inspires her collection Karla saids that it comes organic, for her it is important to grow as a designer, she doesn't draw her designs, she keeps it in her head and just lets it come to life when draping on a dummy.

"Don’t have too many expectations.
Do it because you love it, otherwise it’s a waste of time.”
I am totally in love with Karla's design, youthful, fresh, minimalistic super to combine and match all through the year and make my own!
