Igor Galas, 27, studied at the Faculty of Textile Technology in Zagreb, Croatia.

His collection – Protector from Knitted Galaxy

“In my collection the biggest accent is on the logic of the material. Its substantiality and its three-dimensionality are frequently accentuated. The complex method of production occasionally reminds one of an allusion to old handwork.

“My collection is my dream of a Protector who will come from the knitted galaxy and save the earth from the phenomenon of global warming. My dream is linked with the fact that wool, and only wool, has the characteristic of being warm in winter and cool in summer. This is the balance that is needed so that the Earth can move forward and be green and beautiful.

“I have experimented with several styles in my collection. As an example, I chose the thickness of the thread. Thin threads are combined together to make a thick one which I use to create my unique clothing.”
