DESCRIPTION:Ask Paweł Robuta what he's manifesting for the future and he doesn't reach
for the obvious answers. "I manifest working in the atelier of Dior and
sewing haute couture by hand," he says with a smile. "To learn all the
secrets that the people in those ateliers carry." There is something
quietly radical about a young designer whose primary dream isn't to go
viral with his fashion label, but rather to keep honing the craft. In an
industry that has learned to speak fluently about craft while quietly
sidelining it, Robuta treats it not as an aesthetic afterthought but as
foundation. "At some point I also thought - maybe I could move to the
countryside and apprentice with a lace maker for a while… To really
possess the craft in my hands." 
Born in Sandomierz, Poland, Robuta holds a BA from the Warsaw Academy of
Fine Arts and an MA from the Swedish School of Textiles. As we connect
online, he's just moved to Paris, where at the time he’s interning at the
small studio Alphonse Maitrepierre. By most measures, he is still at the
beginning of his career- yet his work has already moved across contexts and
geographies. His MA collection was presented at Copenhagen Fashion Week; a
leather collaboration was shown during Paris Fashion Week; his uniform
designs are now worn by guides at the United Nations Headquarters in New
York; and his work has also appeared at Panorama Editions, staged in a
historic fort near Dharamsala, India. His portfolio is an unusual
constellation of experiments and approaches.
On his Instagram profile, his motto reads: finding beauty in imperfections.
When we speak about it, he brings up another line that has stayed with him,
this time from Annie Ernaux’s The Years: “to save something from the
time where we will never be again.” “I feel like the two are
connected,” he says. The connection is visible across his work.
