About Jagoda.
I come from Poznań, but for the past 17 years I've been living in Warsaw. My adventure with styling began around three years ago when I started posting my first work on Instagram. Over time I created a profile dedicated to colour in fashion and art, which led me naturally toward designing and making my own clothes.
I'm self-taught — I learned everything through practice, experimentation, and the steady development of my own aesthetic.
Inspiration
I find inspiration in everyday life: nature, architecture, murals, and above all in people. I often photograph moments that later become the starting point for new projects.
I design, draw, and sew clothes, and I also create original prints. I often use my own paintings as a base for patterns on garments. Books about fashion and the shows of outstanding designers are also a great source of inspiration for me.
My style has evolved over the years — from colours and patterns to minimalism. Today I feel closest to black, which gives me a sense of strength, calm, and confidence.
Process
My projects often come to life spontaneously. I'm drawn to deconstruction and giving clothes a new form through cutting, dyeing, painting, or working with spray.
Emotions accompany the making — they become a source of energy and inspiration for me. The greatest satisfaction comes when a project takes on an authentic, complete character.
It also brings me enormous joy to see people wearing clothes I made from scratch.
Style
I would describe it as minimalist, expressive, and natural. It is dominated by dark, muted colours — black especially — which allow the form and construction of the garment to come through.
Closest project
One of the projects closest to me is a simple black top made from a viscose long-sleeve. I believe well-designed basics are the foundation of any outfit, and simplicity is the most timeless form of expression.
Designers
I draw my greatest inspiration from the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, Thierry Mugler, Martin Margiela, and Ann Demeulemeester. I admire them for their courage, construction, and the emotions they manage to convey through fashion.
Who I design for
I design mainly with women in mind, but I care that my clothes reach people regardless of age or convention. I create for people who are self-aware, ambitious, and brave.
Through fashion I want to remind people that it's not worth limiting yourself or your possibilities. Clothing can be a tool for expressing your own strength, personality, and confidence.
