Zuzana Hliněná

Power-suit

Zuzana is a student in the Fashion Design Studio at Tomáš Baťa University in Zlin. In her work, she focuses on the construction and craftsmanship of clothing and explores how clothing can shape the body. She draws inspiration from strong and unconventional female figures and addresses themes of womanhood and femininity.

The Power-suit collection blends 1980s power dressing with the dominant-submissive dynamics of BDSM. Zuzana combines elements of 1980s women’s fashion—padded shoulders, pencil skirts, and jackets that flatten the curves—with fetish details, thereby expressing the wearer’s power and self-confidence. The designs are concealing yet seductive, reflecting the strength and superiority of a dominant woman through her clothing.
