"Ready for New Challenges in the Fashion World"
Fashion has always been my greatest love and the only field that completely fulfills me.
The desire to work as a fashion designer was born long ago, as I live for creation that comes from the heart, not from a desire for material wealth. I feel truly alive when I create. Every piece I design is the result of my passion and my wish to share my vision with the world. As a creative and dedicated professional with years of experience in designing, cutting, and sewing dresses, I believe that my work can bring value to any brand or fashion house. Throughout my career, and through my brand houseofanca , I have specialized in creating unique garments, gaining extensive experience in all aspects of design—from the careful selection of materials, through pattern making, to the final realization of each piece. I have also worked with pattern makers, seamstresses, makeup artists, photographers, hairstylists, on sets, and with styling. I believe in blending creativity with technical precision, crafting modern, wearable, and high-quality garments, while being adaptable to different styles. I am ready to contribute my knowledge, flexibility, and dedication to the development of new ideas, trends, and collections that will captivate the market. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss potential collaboration and how my talent and experience can contribute to the success of your company.
Best regards,
Anica Jovanović
