I've designed this outfits in 2008 just after I graduated highscool. I was 19 and clueless at the time but I had an opportunity and I felt so responsible not to miss it...
This opportunity was gained and meant for someone else.

While we were planning it all, during our last year of highscool, he found on the internet Catalin Botezatu's personal phone number. Catalin Botezatu is a famous Romanian designer. He called this designer and said that he is a talented teenager, pursuing a career in fashion design. And that he was ...
In the end he could not meet Catalin Botezatu and he asked me to do it instead.
I could not forgive myself if I have missed this opportunity

He told me that if I create a collection within 3 months he could help me showcase at Summer Fashion Week
I don't know if he believed I can do it, but I did.
The collection was inspired by the 20' s , it contained 15 outfits and it was showcased at Summer Fashion Week 2008
I made only the prototypes, I still have all of them .
The pictures in nature were taken a few years after, both the photographer and the model were students at the same university studding photography and they needed some photos for an assignment, unfortunately I don't remember their name
