Paradise in Technicolour

The resort capsule by NENSI DOJAKA for Mytheresa.


Nensi Dojaka, winner of the prestigious LVMH Prize, has collaborated with the leading luxury online retailer Mytheresa for an exclusive Resort capsule collection, which will be available globally on April 20th, 2022.

 

Since completing the Central Saint Martin’s MA course in 2019, Dojaka has been widely regarded as one of the hottest young talents in the fashion world. She has already crafted a distinctly unique aesthetic, incorporating asymmetry, lingerie-style, and intentionally visible seams and straps. This trademark look of sophistication with a measure of tasteful eroticism has been reimagined for the Mytheresa collection: whilst retaining the beautiful craftwork that has made Dojaka an international star, the Resort collection has introduced a splash of colour into the mix. With shades of orange, turquoise and pink entering the fray, the collection has a distinctly summery feel. This tropical spirit can be seen too in the inclusion of figure-hugging party dresses 90s cut-outs, wrap skirts and swimsuits among the collection’s 60 ready-to-wear pieces. As always with Dojaka’s work, the beauty in the collection is its effortless harmony between truly innovative designs and genuine wearability.

This venture marks the next exciting step in Albanian-born Dojaka’s remarkable ascendancy; having produced three collections with the Fashion East collective, she was invited to be NEWGEN recipient by the British Fashion Council for her Fall 2022 collection, which received glowing reviews. Now this latest collaboration enables Dojaka to partner herself with one of the world’s most prestigious luxury e-commerce platforms.

 

As well as garnering acclaim from several of the fashion’s most revered institutions, Dojaka’s collections have also won the affection of various global stars, with Camille Charriere and Jourdan Dunn recently donning her designs, and Zendaya even having her own bespoke dress made. The launch of the collaborative release will come within a dedicated editorial story directed by Julian Paul, Chief Creative Officer of Mytheresa, shot by Jana Geberding. Available globally on April 20th.
