Martin’s work is expressive and dynamic. Even though it might sometimes not look like it, his craft i

Sofia is a Slovak from Senica, the youngest of the blond sister trio of the Ravasovy family. Not only can she dance like a goddess, she also turns second-hand clothes into trendy pieces.

Before that, I used to just buy a lot of things in secondhand shops and beg her to adjust them according to my ideas (laughs).
