Krenare Rugova
New York, Paris, Pristina. These are some of the stations in the professional life of Kosovar fashion designer Krenare Rugova. After her studies at the Parsons School of Design in New York and Paris, Rugova decided to return to Kosovo, where she started her eponymous fashion label. Rugova's environmentally friendly pieces have roots in her local community. She resorts to ancient techniques and traditions to create avant-garde products. "My urge to produce, to show, to create and present the best of me and the best of me as a citizen of Pristina, that’s what brings me inspiration", she says.
