Tanja Vidic is a fashion designer from Slovenia and a recent graduate from The Swedish School of Textiles. Her creative process thrives on material and technique exploration and is always inspired by the unconventional. She values the abstract visual experience of the observer, thereby transforming aesthetic concepts into tangible reality.
Ever since she came to Sweden for studies, she has been submerged in the world of knitting and the slow craft of making something from nothing. Knitwear allows her to work close to the body, minding and enhancing its form and sensually revealing the parts not usually being centered on. Through mindful cuts, openings, and the sensual reveal of the body, she constantly questions the relation between the knitted textile, body, and foreign object where one is dictating the shape, form, and placement of the other and vice versa. Her work is an invitation, to explore the boundaries of conventional fashion and engage with design as a means of reimagining the ordinary.
