Fashion in Motion: Roksanda Ilincic
On Friday 21 November 2008, the V&A presented one of London's most successful young designers, Roksanda Ilincic. Her show took the form of five vignettes, specially created for the the V&A and featured a selection of key pieces from her past three collections.
After studying both architecture and applied arts in her native Belgrade, Roksanda came to London where she gained her master's degree in womenswear at Central St Martins College.
Recognised for her beautifully crafted garments, Ilincic's distinct style has been inspired by the soft draping and romantic, feminine feel of 1940s and 1950s Parisian couture. She combines these influences with contemporary twists such as raw edges, strong, structural shapes and exaggerated pleating.
Ilincic has been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards including, on two occasions, the BFC Fashion Forward Award. She has also been awarded Top Shop New Generation Sponsorship and Fashion East for three seasons.
The show was dedicated to Deda Mile and Tetka Anka.
A gift in your will
You may not have thought of including a gift to a museum in your will, but the V&A is a charity and legacies form an important source of funding for our work. It is not just the great collectors and the wealthy who leave legacies to the V&A. Legacies of all sizes, large and small, make a real difference to what we can do and your support can help ensure that future generations enjoy the V&A as much as you have.
