The Mars collection by Mariana Berec came to life in collaboration with fashion designer Lukáš Spilka and reacts to the current polemics surrounding the planet’s colonization. 

The leitmotif is a woman in the role of the red planet’s colonizer. The accessories, taking shape of protective shields, masks, and synthetic hair, function as a present-day armour, which will serve the purpose of shielding humans living on a new planet. Mysterious masks have, besides the utilitarian protective function, a striking aesthetic quality and define the future self-confident look of a woman existing outside planet Earth.
