Margareta J.

I am costume designer with almost 20 years of experience across the creative industries, including work in theater, movies, television, advertising as well as group and exhibitions. Since 2010 I am active member of the Association of Applied Arts Artists and Designers. Costumes that I design are founded on traditional costumes, primarily from ancient tradition, and transformed into futuristic, very urban and modern pieces, manly by adding asymmetrical sharp cuts and untradicional materials, like pvc, neopren, with details such as fasteners, zippers, belts, etc. They are artistic and brave but still practical for wearing, as mobility and speed are notion in which we are living. They are playing with the traditional gender stereotypes and forms, but actually coming across as feminine and erotic. My cloth and costumes are as variable as the future is, they can be everything and nothing, eccentric, elegant or plan, depending on how you wear, transform and combine them.
