Ivana Pilja (Serbian Cyrillic: Ивана Пиља) is a fashion designer based out of Belgrade, Serbia. She is known for her avant-garde designs, accentuated by angular edges, architectural shapes and unexpected patterns.[1][2] Italian Vogue has called her "One of Belgrade's greatest talents..."[3]
Career
Pilja is a graduate of the College of Textile, Fashion and Marketing in Belgrade, Serbia.[4] In 2007, she began working for various commercial sports clothing brands while at the same time creating her own label.[1] In 2010, her namesake collection won two awards at Belgrade Fashion Week and was also shown at FashionClash in the Netherlands, which helped launch her brand internationally.[1][5][6][7] Her clothes have been seen at London Fashion Week,[8][9] Berlin Fashion Week, and runway shows in Dubai.[2] She presented at Berlin Alternative Fashion Week in 2015 and again two years later. The 2017 collection was described as having an extreme look with voluminous geometric shapes.[10] Singer Luke Black made an appearance during the runway show.[10][11]
For Pilja, clothing is like a moving sculpture and she is inspired by Japanese fashion.[2] Described as being futuristic, her brand has attracted celebrities such as Dita von Teese, Ellie Goulding, Lily Allen, Daisy Lowe, and Paloma Faith.[1][12][13][14] Pilja has won several awards from Elle magazine.[10] Her work has also been featured in British Vogue,[15] Italian Vogue[3] and the 2011 book "Fast Forward Fashion", published by Farameh Media.[16][2]
