At the end of April, the capital of Slovakia came alive again with fashion! The starting third decade of the BRATISLAVA FASHION DAYS (BMD) project was a visual experience for the audience, to whom the designers showed the best from the SPRING/SUMMER season. Over the course of two days, BMD organizer Mária Reháková brought to the guests the creations of stalwarts of Slovak fashion design and young creative authors.
Former tennis player and former Slovak parliamentarian Romana Tabaková came to the parades covered in a brown coat. As she revealed to Koktejla with musician Teri Čikoš, she once again relied on minimalism, in which she feels best. “Because I’m a tall woman, I want the simplest things possible. But today, for example, my shoes are the main accessory,” she revealed about the choice of outfit.
She used to stand alone on the catwalk as a model. Doesn’t it tempt her again? “Why not? Even when I showed a dress for Michaela Ľuptáková in 2018, I was the “plus size” model. I just enjoy it. When you are an athlete and an exhibitionist, you like to show off something. why not” Tabaková admitted.
How much does he like the aforementioned minimalism, does he tolerate expensive fashion in it or can he combine cheaper pieces? “The older I get, the more I like high-quality fashionbecause I don’t want to buy something cheap, I have to replace it in two weeks. But I have no problem having T-shirts or some simple pieces from cheaper stores. Now I’m more patient with a high-quality handbag, but I’m not in favor of those things being labeled, that’s the gimmick. I wore this camel coat all evening today too. It’s just a high-quality coat, almost 10 years old and that’s…” she emphasized.
It also has an original story that not everyone has! “For example, when I met Prince Charles, he was still a prince because he came to my school in England, so when I had the opportunity to talk to him or grab him by the shoulder, he had exactly the same coat, but made of better quality camel.” she remembered with a laugh the current British king Charles III.
