Dominika Kozáková is a visionary Slovak fashion designer renowned for her bold, avant-garde approach to contemporary fashion. Her eponymous brand, Dominika Kozáková, exists at the intersection of creativity, sustainability, and social commentary. Kozáková’s designs merge prints on recycled polyester, hand-knitted garments crafted by local artisans, and deadstock fabrics certified by GOTS and OEKO-TEX, reflecting her commitment to eco-conscious fashion while addressing political and social issues. Kozáková has showcased her collections at prestigious events such as Van Graaf and Runway at MBPFW and Madrid Fashion Week. Additionally, she has designed costumes for two films: Somebody by Jordan Baldy, featured on i-D Italy and available in Keyi Magazine, and Just Dance As Above So Below, which premiered on NOWNESS. Somebody explores themes of self-discovery and identity, capturing the emotional journey of Generation Z and emphasizing that clarity must come from within. Meanwhile, Just Dance As Above So Below delves into the interplay between fantasy and reality, encouraging viewers to question societal norms. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature, pop culture, and modern circus, Kozáková’s designs blend childhood nostalgia with the complexities of adult life. Her work pushes the boundaries of traditional fashion, solidifying her position as a leading name in sustainable fashion today. "As a designer, I have always believed that fashion is not just about aesthetics but rather about creating a dialogue with the world. My journey has been rooted in pushing boundaries and challenging conventional fashion norms through bold, sustainable, and culturally resonant designs. My goal is to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, ensuring my creations reflect not only the rich heritage of craftsmanship but also the urgent need to address contemporary issues like sustainability and inclusivity."

About Us
A key element of Kozáková’s approach is her use of deadstock materials. By repurposing surplus fabrics, she not only reduces waste but also breathes new life into textiles that would otherwise be discarded. This process fuels her creativity, as working with these unique and limited materials drives her to innovate and craft original designs.
Dominika Kozáková is celebrated for her daring, playful designs that merge nostalgia, fantasy, and modern influences. Her work is a vibrant blend of past and present, drawing on childhood memories, dreams, and the whimsical world of the circus while staying attuned to contemporary fashion trends.
Nostalgia is a cornerstone of Kozáková’s aesthetic, reimagining childhood wonder through playful colors, surreal patterns, and dreamlike designs. Her creations offer an escape from reality, bridging the innocence of youth with the complexities of adulthood. This dreamlike quality is paired with influences from modern circus culture, where exaggerated shapes, clownish details, and theatrical elements evoke a sense of freedom and rebellion. This circus-inspired chaos aligns with the current trend of maximalism, offering a bold alternative to minimalist styles.
Kozáková’s designs are also deeply influenced by pop culture, reflecting themes of self-expression and individuality. Her creations speak to a generation that values authenticity and the freedom to experiment, making her work not only visually striking but also culturally relevant. By resonating with the modern desire for personal identity in fashion, Kozáková’s designs transcend the ordinary.
Nature serves as another powerful influence in her work, with flora and fauna often appearing in botanical prints, animal motifs, and organic shapes. These natural elements balance her otherwise theatrical designs, grounding them in a connection to the environment. This approach aligns with the growing movement in fashion toward sustainability and ecological responsibility, which Kozáková incorporates through upcycled materials and reworking fabrics to minimize waste.
