Mada iza hrvatskih dizajnera ne stoji velika
modna industrija, nekoliko njih napravilo je vrlo
uspješne iskorake u svjetskim centrima mode
Although, behind the Croatian designers does
not stand a big fashion industry, a few of them

U prošlosti strogo čuvana granica pariške visoke mode, ultimativnoga
elitističkog dvora, počela se tresti kada su na scenu stupili tada drski
provokatori među kojima je prednjačio Yves Saint Laurent koji je žene
odjenuo u muški smoking s cigaretom u ruci. Iako je Yves bio pravi
Francuz iz stare poznate obitelji, trebalo je iznimno dugo vremena da
pariški krugovi “oproste” Saint Laurentu to nečuveno svetogrđe. Ali
to je bila samo uvertira u valove međunarodnih grupa dizajnera koji
će osamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća potpuno šokirati i pokoriti
hermetični Pariz. Bez obzira na neopisivu dozu kreativnosti, moda je
zapravo diskriminirajuća i isključiva. Ipak, te činjenice nisu spriječile
japansku i belgijsku struju tada potpunih anonimaca koji su krenuli
izlagati u Parizu.
Naravno, Japan ili Belgiju niti u jednom parametru ne možemo
komparirati s Hrvatskom, ali sama esencija kreativnosti i ambicije
nikada do sada nije imala putovnicu niti formalno državljanstvo. S
obzirom da su Hrvati kreativan narod koji je čini se opsjednut modom,
jer kako inače objasniti postojanje tri nacionalna tjedna mode u zemlji
od 4 milijuna stanovnika, nameće se intrigantna tema o uspjehu
hrvatskih dizajnera u suvremenom svijetu mode.
The former strictly protected border of the Parisian haute-couture,
the ultimate elitist court, started shaking unstably when the then,
impudent provocateurs appeared on stage, among whom Yves Saint
Laurent was the first, dressing women in a male tuxedo with a cigar in
their hands. Although Yves was a true Frenchman from an old family,
it took quite a long time for the “Parisian” circles to forgive him for
this incredible sacrilege. However, that was just an overture into the
waves of international groups of designers, who completely shocked
and tamed the hermetical Paris in the 1980s. Regardless of the
indescribable dose of creativity, the fashion is actually discriminating
and exclusive. Still, at the time, these facts did not prevent the
Japanese and Belgian stream of completely anonymous people to have
reviews in Paris. Of course, Japan or Belgium cannot be compared to
Croatia in any parameter, but the essence of creativity and ambition
itself has never had a passport or a formal citizenship. Considering
that Croats are a creative nation, which seems to be obsessed with
fashion, because there is no other way to explain the existence of
three national fashion weeks in a country with 4 million inhabitants,
the intriguing question arises about the success of Croatian designers
in the contemporary world of fashion.
