On the meaning of icons
In the April issue of Vogue Polska, we take a look at a great comeback of weaving to the world of fashion and design. We talk to Małgosia Turżańska, a costume designer nominated for the Academy Award, about emotions and the film “Hamnet”, while actress Anna Próchniak tells us why she is so eager to play parts in movies set in a different era. We analyze the phenomenon of the Pantone Color of the Year and show the backstage of the “Polish Modernism. A Struggle for Beauty” exhibition, which will be open to viewers in Milan in April.
Weaving — our Polish national treasure
Weaving is the main theme of one of this issue’s cover photo shoots. “People would weave thin tree twigs, straw left from the harvest, strips of bark, and pine needles. In some regions they would even use stems of aquatic plants,” says Łucja Cieślar, a co-creator of the Serfenta Association, which has been popularizing basket weaving for 18 years, in her talk with Basia Czyżewska. Widely associated with traditional craft, weaving was mostly a technique of making utility items. Today, it is coming back not only to design, but also to the fashion world with new energy, which you can see in the photos from the Vogue Polska April issue’s cover photo shoot with model Angelika Wierzbicka.
