BLANKA DRESS

A fluid sculptural dress shaped through layered geometric draping.

The Blanka Dress is part of The Geometry of Feeling collection, where visual art, geometry, and the body intertwine. Constructed from basic geometric shapes without conventional cutting, using an origami technique, the dress develops into a distinctive three-dimensional yet fluid silhouette based on the zero-waste principle.

The cut is entirely non-repeatable, as the dress is created directly on the mannequin without the use of traditional patterns. The shaping process unfolds intuitively through folding, layering, and spatial exploration of the material.

The material used is waterproof, intentionally selected for its ability to hold structure while allowing longer fabric shapes to fall in a controlled, soft manner.

With pronounced diagonal layering in the upper part and an elongated back, the garment transforms into a dynamic composition of lines and volumes. The asymmetrical length creates a sense of movement and subtle theatricality within a restrained color palette. Designed in a loose-fit silhouette, the garment adapts to different body shapes.

The Blanka Dress can be worn front or back, offering two equally expressive silhouettes.

Each piece is one-of-a-kind and handcrafted in Slovenia. The dress is made from deadstock fabric, carefully sourced from a textile antiquarian. The Blanka Dress embodies the sustainable philosophy of the Nika Ravnik brand, combining timeless design, experimentation, and respect for material. The dress is made of water-repellent lightweight polyester with structured architectural folds.
