Pieces of You

Ana Krgović was born in Montenegro and graduated from the Faculty of Textile Technology at the University of Zagreb. Her studies helped to shape her contemporary approach. As a fashion designer she combines color psychology, semiotics and tradition in her design philosophy to express individuality and explore social, psychological, and cultural complexities. She aims for an innovative and sustainable approach to fashion.

‘Pieces of You’ is a powerful testament to exploring psychological and emotional landscapes, showing that suffering and obstacles are not merely inevitable aspects of life, but essential components of personal development and the journey towards becoming one's true self. Ana Krgović’s work reflects on personal experiences of loss. She uses these experiences as a catalyst for change. By embracing the trials we face, we uncover our path to self-completion, authenticity and ultimately wholeness. This performance explores the universal journey of personal growth through five stages: life, pain, suffering, transformation and rebirth.
