Meet The Designer

“To me sustainable fashion means living in balance. We need to slow down consumption and stop creating new, new, new. We need to change our thinking around clothes and more designers need to show consumers that we are able to make beautiful clothes using old clothes and damaged textiles.”

Bio

After taking home both First Prize: Redress Design Award 2015/16 with Shanghai Tang, and Special Prize: Redress Design Award 2015/16 with Janet Ma, Pat Guzik spent three months in Hong Kong to design an up-cycled capsule collection for Shanghai Tang. She returned to Poland to develop her namesake sustainable womenswear brand Pat Guzik, which sees the application of various sustainability concepts in her designs, including reconstruction of preformed garments through her RELOVE line and collaborates with designers for prints and motifs including with her partner visual artist Mateusz Kolek. She has had her brand retailed at Harvey Nichols, Zalando and recently at. M+ Museum in Hong Kong.

Pat holds a Fashion Design degree from the Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design and a Philosophy and Sociology Studies degree from Pedagogical University of Cracow in Poland.

Redress Design Award Collection

For her Redress Design Award (formerly the EcoChic Design Award) 2015/16 collection, Patrycja was inspired by the saying “Heaven as a place on earth” and she wanted to make clothes that were a shelter for a heaven-like space. She combined the up-cycling and reconstruction design techniques by hand-weaving damaged textiles and unraveled secondhand garments, which she sourced from fabric wholesalers and secondhand shops in Cracow.
