Aleksandra Lalić

Under the label "LalicA", the designer has produced her clothing line since 2002.[1] According to Fashion Reverie, Lalić "represents a continuing trend in European fashion of re-imaging and re-inventing the way consumers and industry professionals consider form, structure, fabrication, and wearability."[2]

In 2012, she presented a collection at Modepalast, a fashion show which took place at the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna. She also participated in the 2014 "Bending the Borders" multimedia exhibition in Belgrade, Serbia.[3] Her 2016 show at Belgrade Fashion Week paid homage to Oskar Schlemmer, a German artist who created costumes for the theater.[4] Using natural fibers like wool and silk, the clothing was characterized by abstract designs and tailored shapes.[5] That same year, a second collection was inspired by the Mediterranean, in its use of oceanic blues and the traditional black clothing worn there.[6] Lalic also created an all red collection for the Hemofarm Foundation, as part of a special project sponsored by Belgrade Fashion Week.[7] Her 2017 line was described as " all smooth lines and earthy colours, a subtle mix of contemporary style and traditional references".[8][9] In 2018, she participated in a group tribute to Boris Nikolić at Belgrade Fashion Week.[10][11]

Lalić has become known for creating experimental dresses made of felt from human hair.[12] She uses hair that had been cut-off or rejected, as part of a habitual beauty routine. By re-purposing the hair, the designer views the transformed material as returning "... to the body in the form of clothing as an undesirable surface".[1]
