Zvonko Marković (born 11 April 1975)[1][2] is a Serbian fashion designer known for creating sculptural leather clothing, as well as opulent gowns made of lace and silk.[3] In 2018, he celebrated twenty years in the fashion industry with a special collection seen at "Serbia Fashion Week".
Biography
Marković was born in Podgorica and moved to Belgrade when he was ten years old.[4] Graduating in 2001, he studied at the Faculty of Applied Arts and Design in Belgrade, Serbia.[1][5] He started out as a commercial clothing designer and also created costumes for theater companies. He presented his first collection in 1998 in Serbia.[6] His clothing gained attention in 2002, after designing a concert gown for pop folk singer Svetlana Ceca Ražnatović.[2]
Marković has presented his clothing line in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Rome, St. Petersburg, and Shanghai, as well as in his native country at Serbia Fashion Week.[1][6][7] In 2015 and 2016, he participated in the "Paris Haute Couture" fashion show in France.[8] Called "Night Moth", the 2015 collection had pieces designed with silk georgette, anaconda skins, and jersey.[9][10] The 2016 collection was named "Land of Lilacs" and featured leather combined with floral prints and feathers.[8] In 2017 and 2018, he also put on runway shows at "New York Fashion Week".[11][12][13]
Marković celebrated two decades of career at "Serbia Fashion Week" in April 2018 with a collection inspired by fairy tales.[14][15][16] Several months later, he presented a collection in Shanghai, China which led to other runway shows in Asia.[17]
His clothes have been worn by local celebrities such as Lepa Brena, Ana Nikolić, and Jelena Janković,[2] as well as international ones like singer Ashanti and model Kylie Jenner.[18] Marković believes that "fashion in every possible way deals with art"[19] and that "clothes are kind of three-dimensional sculpture, and in movement, they get a new, fourth dimension."[20]
Awards
In 2003, Marković won a ULUPUDS prize for best leather collection at the Belgrade Fair.[21] He has also received two awards from Serbia Fashion Week.[1][6] In 2017, he was awarded a prize from the Paris organization "Centre du luxe et de la création".[6][22]
