ZOLNAR is comfy, sexy, cyberpunk fashion handmade in Latvia.
That sentence might surprise you, until you meet designer Eva - one of D2Q’s most enthusiastic and quirky contributors.
Eva attributes the foundation of her designs to the films she loved as a little girl - Terminator, Judge Dredd, The Fifth Element and Demolition Man. (I super want to meet 7 year old Eva, don’t you?)
Though Zolnar will be a featured designer in our Cyborg look, it’s not all robots and flying cars with Eva. She says, “I feed my inner artist with ... real live nature. It always brings some new forms and patterns, and the colors are stunning.”
A love of the materials and design elements used in high tech architecture is clear in Eva’s industrial, spacey designs. Even her most involved and complex pieces are streamlined works of art that just beg to be photographed alongside shiny skyscrapers. Eva says, “Put some house made out of wood, concrete, metal panels and glass on juicy green grass ... and my brain will release a set of inspirational neurotransmitters immediately.” Ours too, Eva!
Eva works closely with many of her customers on one-off and custom orders, and says the typical Zolnar wearer is “smart, nice and creative. ... He/She spends weekends preparing cosplay costumes and gets really excited when told that the thing they need is possible to create! No doubt, their inner child is alive and well.” I’m so excited to style one of Eva’s pieces for our Cyborg look - now to find the perfect model and location! Can’t we just travel through time and space for this one?
