to mesto – seća se Dragana. Kaže da je oduvek znala da će se baviti modom, a ka- da je otkrila slikarstvo, te njene dve ljubavi su se preklo- pile i dopunile. – Moda je po definiciji primenjena umetnost. Različita disciplina od slikarstva, pre svega sezonalna, brza, što zna- či da za one koji sezonu prate stajanja nema. Moda je inte- rakcija, proizvod i nadgradnja odnosa, čista emocija. Ima je u svakom kutku života – objašnjava Dragana. Draganu opčinjava proces stvaranja, popravljanje gre- šaka i stremljenje ka kvalitetu, a taj proces, dodaje, često ni- je svima razumljiv.

A different discipline

Fashion is an interaction, a product and an uplifting relationship, pure emo- tion. It exists in every corner of life,” explains Dragana. Dragana finds herself enchanted by the creation process, the cor- rection of mistakes and striving for quality. And this process, she adds, often isn’t comprehensible to everyone. She tells us that she has always thought of clothes and design, and that she has always sketched.
