Mata Durikovic explores bioluxury and Haute Couture through her boundary-breaking, eye-catching designs. Her work comes from her own mission to show that luxury can also be sustainable, with a focus on biomaterial and quality techniques. Mata isn’t just focused on the present; her works transcend physical boundaries with her most recent Crystal Bird design being not only edible but finding its inspiration in VR and space travel. 

When talking about the inspiration behind the materials Mata works with, she says: “I explore different techniques and variety of bioplastic use among the solid fabric, such UV digital and 3D print on top of the surface for an illusory 3D effect. Also, I use bioplastics as a replacement for traditional embroidery, besides traditional embroidery. All resulting in a home cookable, edible and fully degradable bioplastic crystal collection. Cook it! Wear it! Eat it! Vitalise plants with it!”
