TAIZA Fashion House introduces its new Collection

For the first time in the history of TAIZA, next to the already classical TAIZA Pret-a-Porter and TAIZA Couture , a new, more casual line has been introduced, TAIZA Week-End . The aim of this new line is to expand and enrich in a creative way the portfolio of the label, allowing the clients to make their own choice of style within a single label.

The entire collection is the work of fashion designer Katerina Baloun.

Earth, Water, Air and Fire are the four fundamental elements which inspire this unique collection. The designer imprints on her models her vision of metamorphosis of fish, butterflies and flowers. Inspiration from nature is also perceptible in the use of high-quality natural materials such as silk, leather, satin, cotton and viscose.

The colour palette is variable, the tones are evolving, colours blend with each other. The transition from white to blue symbolizes the air and the sky, the colours of water mutate from light tones to turquoise, subtle earthy shades of beige gradually evolve into deep fiery tones.

Cuts are delicate, flattering the feminine silhouette, and the sensual and sophisticatedly elegant creations emphasise the beauty, intellect, strength and personality of the women who wear them. TAIZA models are designed for all clients who are not satisfied with confection as such and perceive clothing to be an expression of their own individuality. With TAIZA models, the transformation of women takes place at a mystic level. The secret charm of transformation and the blending of dream and reality create the unique style of what is already the tenth TAIZA collection.

The face of the TAIZA Spring-Summer 2004 campaign is top model Zuzana Mačasová.

Twenty-two-year-old model Zuzana Mačasová already has to her credit many an international success over her four-year career. She has been making regular appearances at fashion shows in Paris, Milan and New York since the age of eighteen. Zuzana represents fashion labels such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, J.P. Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Lanvin, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Issey Miyake, BCBG, and many others.

She works with world-famous photographers such as Steven Meisel, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Steven Klein, Jonty Davies, Ralph Mecke, Jurgen Teller, and Javier Valonhart. She has appeared several times in the pages of the French, German, Italian and Greek Vogue and has been photographed for significant magazines such as Citizen k, several versions of Elle, Harper's Bazar, W-magazine, and Ten.
She has also appeared in a Marc Jacobs campaign (USA) and Roccobarroco.
