Instead of the usual, short review of Fashion Week(s) in Slovenia, I’ve opted for something slightly different. Over a cup of coffee, I sat down with  Mateja and discussed the recent Ljubljana Fashion Week (which took place in April 2019) and our favorite fashion shows. I’ve always admired dr. Mateja Gaber – her presence, style and her way of life. She truly is one of those modern ladies that don’t just dress to be recognized and praised for it; she’s nothing like the millions of self-called influencers. Lecturer of German language by day, she breathes art, history and fashion and has always stood out to me as a member of the small group of people who truly and wholeheartedly support Slovenian fashion and design.

Our conversation in their stunning apartment in Ljubljana’s historic Nebotičnik building inspired the fashion editorial featuring Mateja Gaber herself along with her three daughters Hana, Valeska and Elena. Shot and reimagined by Marijo Zupanov, directed and styled by Anže Ermenc with make-up by Nina Arko.
