Czech Fashion Designers: PEARL by Martina Brandtlová

After moving to the Czech Republic from Hong Kong, I had to switch from photographing fashion to mainly shooting luxury real estate and events. The Czech creative market is very different. This country doesn't strike you with an overwhelming obsession for clothes shopping. As a result, there are fewer fashion and accessory designers who choose to base their brands in Prague.

Photographing Czech fashion scene

In the summer of 2019, I was happy to begin the "Czech Fashion Designers" photo project with a Prague-based fashion blogger, Cosmopolitan magazine columnist, and an aspiring actress - Lucka Srbová. Every month we collaborate on a photoshoot for one of the local fashion brands, creating fashion stories in various styles and moods.
