Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
Lidija Kolovrat (b. 1962, Bosnia) is a designer, visual artist and multidisciplinary creator based in Lisbon. Trained in Film and Fashion Design in Zagreb, she arrived in Portugal in 1990, where she developed a creative practice that crosses fashion, video, performance, sculpture and interior design.
In 1996, she opened her Concept Store in Lisbon, consolidating the KOLOVRAT brand as a reference for ethical, experimental and spiritually engaged design. For Kolovrat, clothing is a symbolic language that reflects the inner world of the wearer — a sacred geometry that brings together intuition, innovation and humour.
Her approach to fashion is rooted in the relationship between body and object, valuing sustainability, recycling and co-creation with the client. Conceptual thinking and a solid technical foundation allow her to continuously reinvent the boundaries of the discipline, establishing herself as a distinctive voice in both the Portuguese and international creative scenes.
