Modnemu oblikovalcu, ki že več kot desetletje prefinjeno
sooblikuje slovenski modni prostor, forma sama skorajda
ne pomeni nič, ravno obratno – inspiracijo za ustvarjanje
črpa iz filozofije predmetov. To je zanj vodilo, ki ga pripelje
do stvaritve tudi 50 različnih kosov oblačil v istem duhu, z
isto zgodbo. Rad ima samoto, rad se umakne iz Ljubljane,
iz Slovenije, da se nato še z večjim veseljem vrne nazaj.
Mirnost, jasno izražena izbranost besed ter pogled, ki
si dovoli sanjati tudi ob belem dnevu, kreirajo modne
mojstrovine. Njegovi spretni prsti ustvarjajo oblikovanje,
ki je prepoznavno brez podpisa, inspirirano z besedo,
čustvi, glasbo.
Pogled v njegove kreacije in kolekcije nam prikaže
izčiščenost forme, odsotnost barv. Preplet sofisticiranosti
in navideznega asketizma se ne kaže samo skozi čiste
oblike, temveč ga poudari z vso »mavrico« črnine.
»Za črno se ne skrivamo, s črno se odkrivamo,« pravi
Garevski. Moraš biti zelo samozavesten, da nosiš črno in
seveda še bolj samozavesten, da si upaš ustvarjati samo
v njej. Črna s svojimi odtenki, v kateri Garevski pretežno
ustvarja, se ga je prijela kot etiketa – ampak to dobitnika
Trendove nagrade, slovenske nagrade za modno in
vizualno ustvarjalnost, ter nagrajenca prvega slovenskega
tedna mode, nič ne moti in se še bolj spretno sprehaja
med vsemi klišeji. Garevski, ki je že med študijem na
Naravoslovnotehniški fakulteti v Ljubljani oblikoval
za znano blagovno znamko Vodeb, se nato pridružil
oblikovalskim somišljenikom pod imenom V.O.O.D.O.O.
ter kasneje še kreativnemu timu oblikovalcev Squat, se
je leta 2002 odločil ustanoviti lastno blagovno znamko
– Garevski. Zadnji dve leti črpa navdih iz bogate tradicije
šiviljskih in krojaških delavnic kot glavni oblikovalec za
Rašico R exclusive, jim odvzame nepotreben balast in jih
postavi ob bok aristokratskemu modernemu minimalizmu.
The fashion designer, whose sophisticated style has been
exercising a profound influence on the Slovenian fashion
scene for over ten years, is quite oblivious to form as such
– in fact, just the opposite is true: it is the object that is the
source of his creative inspiration, leading him to design
50 different items of clothing – expressions of the same
spirit, variations on a theme. He relishes solitude, loves
to remove himself from Ljubljana, from Slovenia, only
to return with even greater fervour and passion. Calm,
carefully selected words and the eyes that dare to dream
in broad daylight are the creators of design masterpieces.
The designs taking shape under his deft fingers exude his
signature without his having to sign his name, inspired by
a word, emotion, music.
His creations could be described as perfection in form,
absence of colour. The interplay of elegance and seeming
asceticism expressed through smooth contours and
clean lines is further accentuated by the entire
spectrum of black.
‘Black does not hide us; rather, it exposes us,’ claims
Garevski. It takes a great deal of self-confidence to
wear black, and even more to have the boldness to
create only in black. Black in all its shades and tones is
Garevski’s trademark. Recipient of the Trend award for
fashion and visual creativity, and voted Best Designer
at the first Slovenian fashion week, however, remains
unperturbed, and if anything, has become even more
adroit at negotiating his way among all the clichés. Having
designed the prominent label Vodeb during his student
years at the Faculty of Natural Sciences in Ljubljana,
Garevski next joined forces with fellow designers at
V.O.O.D.O.O., and later with creative team Squat. In
2002, he decided to launch his own label, Garevski. For
the past two years he has been drawing inspiration from
a rich tradition of dressmaker’s and tailor’s workshops as
chief designer for Rašica R exclusive, stripping designs of
superfluous ballast and giving them the aristocratic look
of modern minimalism.
