> Can you briefly introduce yourself ?
Freelance designer and architect, owner of Laser Cut Design Laboratory, a studio for exploration and experiment in contemporary design . Mystory has always been about seeking the artistic and architect’s
expression in different mediums. Started of with poetry, thencontinued into the love for directing and than architecture. Ifinished Faculty of Architecture in Skopje and since than I havecondensed my love for the beautiful into my double life- the one ofthe architect and the one of the designer. I can never tell where one of them begins and where the other one continues.
> How did you start designing clothes? Is it something you’ve always wanted to do ?
I started designing very lucid and kinetically. It was an answer to my need to model the maps of wonderland of my heart and transfer it into pieces of imagination where people can discover a world of their own.
> What are your sources or inspiration ?
The poetic pictures of life, of past, of the future, the dream of a different reality mixed with the love of the unknown, the ever-changing moods, places, colors, people.
> Fashion, what for ?
Fashion as a dream , as a concept for a new brave world. It reminds me of the first taste, the first intuitive picture you get when you need to start designing an architecture project, or the poetry you see in a certain space. This two medias once considered totally in contrast, the last decade become more and more close and similar to each other, carrying the message of how the new world is and the way it’s going to be.

Design shouldn’t be what it is but what it’s going to be It should be hyper realistic, bold, visionary, with no boundaries, just a pure string of the heartbeat, but most important of all Nobody should tell you what design should or shouldn’t be.
