Aleksandra Krol — Footwear & Accessories Designer 

“It began with childhood memories of cutting floral shapes from paper. I used to make intricate paper flowers - bright and full of imagination”. 


 
ESSENZA FLORÈA is a sculptural footwear and accessories collection that reimagines floral forms through the lens of memory, distortion, and abstraction. Rooted in childhood experiences, the collection transforms symbolic floral shapes into tactile, expressive, and wearable objects. Rather than representing flowers literally, it captures their essence — their textures, rhythms, and fragile structures.

Cut-outs are reinterpreted not as acts of removal, but as acts of discovery, revealing unexpected forms and voids. Through techniques such as smocking, sublimation printing, and negative-space construction, flat drawings become sculptural and wearable.

Reimagining the typical use of smocking and sublimation printing, Aleksandra transforms lightweight fabrics into dimensional landscapes. Inspired by petals, folds, and movement, the materials are manipulated to evoke the fragile and organic nature of flowers — never static, always shifting. 
ESSENZA FLORÈA is not a literal tribute to flowers — it is a tribute to memory, to softness, to transformation.
