Anežka Matějů Mrzílková – portfolio
The Andělé procitají collection draws inspiration from the changing sky — through time, weather, and moods. The designs borrow the sky’s color palette: from stormy greys to golden sunrays. Dresses are adorned with hand-beaded embroidery, ceramic appliqués, and drapery, reflecting the sky’s captivating atmosphere.
All pieces are made exclusively from deadstock fabrics and recycled materials, merging aesthetics with a mindful approach to sustainability. The experience is enhanced not only by jewelry but also by scent of Myskino perfumes — as models move through the space, they leave behind a delicate trail of perfumes designed to correspond with the various phases of the sky.

Materials and Sustainability
90% of the materials used are second-hand. The author of the collection utilized inherited fabrics, purchases from flea markets (e.g., leftover wedding decorations), deadstock textiles from Textile Mountain, and donated materials from other designers.
