Ever since she was a little girl, Hana Zeqa dreamt of becoming a world-famous designer. And not just any kind of designer. She wanted to fashion clothes and save the Planet at the same time. Organic and natural fibers such as cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo etc. which are gentle toward the Planet and are more environmentally friendly. During the process of selection of textiles, a designer should always be mindful of the durability and find a balance between what the garment requires and what the planet demands.
Fashion design in Kosovo is more like of a follow up of social media trends, whereas fashion industry as such does not exist yet nor does it have a specific character or style to go by. The fact that you can now study this field in Kosovo, though, is a promising fact, enabling youth to learn about style, the fashion social context and philosophy, as well as to understand that fashion means more than just a beautiful dress and that is what we need more for this sector to develop: local, independent brands, everyday wear that uses local resources and is a great export channel to put Kosovo on the map.
