Milano 2019 / photos Kuba Dąbrowski

For 30 seasons, Kuba Dąbrowski has been working with WWD, one of the oldest and most respected fashion journals, as well as with many established fashion brands.

His photography is sophisticated, simple and discreet, capturing the natural charm and beauty of fashion without unnecessary embellishment.

The Shanghai bag has been described as “the most recognisable designer accessory in the history of contemporary Polish fashion after 1989.” Radically black, it draws on the colour that lies at the heart of the brand’s DNA.

The design refers to the act of wandering, both in its practical and symbolic dimensions, as well as to the idea of contemporary urban nomads, for whom travel is not simply a destination, but a way of life.

Jewellery

The jewellery is crafted from wild Polish amber, strung on vivid red cord. Each raw mineral element is separated by hand-tied knots, a technique inspired by the traditional way of stringing pearls. The necklaces come in four variations, each one entirely unique. Designed for both adults and children, the collection pays homage to Polish heritage, a reinterpretation of the necklaces worn by our mothers and grandmothers, transformed into a new and singular talisman.

Functional botanical fragrances are closer to the body, the senses, and a sense of wellbeing. Their power lies in consciously crafted scents, compositions of natural oils designed to engage the olfactory memory and influence mood and wellbeing.

Kuczyńska's designs and fragrances are a fusion of Parisian chic, Italian tenderness, and Warsaw eclecticism. Worlds that seemingly do not fit together, yet together create a new quality. They are the sum of the designer's personal experiences and her sensitive observation of the world.
