Lucina, O!, Arkadius' debut collection at London Fashion Week presented on the 22nd of September 1999.
Sponsored by Ebel, the Swiss horlogists, the Lucina, O! Spring/Summers 2000 collection has received great critical acclaim from the international media. Drawing inspiration from the works of British artist Allen Jones and symbolism from Lucina, the Roman goddess of childbirth, Arkadius marks the turn of the century and a new millennium by incorporating futuristic designs with natural fabrics such as leather, silk and soft wool.
The dramatically cut jackets revealing bold patters with UV sensitive prints and soft, form-fitting trousers and skirts with unexpected detailing caught the attention of international fashion industry leaders. |

The repetitive present and inaccessible past -"Le Freak, C'est Chic" is the notion of the newest prêt-a-porter Autumn/Winter 2004/2005 collection of Arkadius.
Arkadius has always been dissatisfied with the way that fashion images concentrate on young people to the virtual exclusion of the old. He is struck by the inner sense of joy and style when he sees people in their sixties and older who dress up for an occasion or just to walk in the streets. He also notes that a part of this style is often to include a very ordinary object as part of their style.
In the collection "Le Freak C'est Chic" Arkadius reffers to the glamour and chic of the classic elegance that reflects itself in a crooked looking glass of the weird present. The very feminine, sexy look of his new designs is touched by artistic odd maneuver. The collection is intellectualy eclectic in forms, materials and colors.
The collection theme has been inspired by the theatre play "Chairs" by Eugene Ionesco-one of the biggest French authors. |

The concept of PROSTITUTION? comes from my reaction to those who attack designers because they create clothes which are commercial. "You prostitute yourselves" we are told, "you sell yourselves out to the supermarket."
Of course there is a part of any artist which needs to pursue inspiration for its own sake and to wherever it leads. My favorite dream is a High Street where everyone is dressed in the fullest statement of their personalities, joy and hope.
But are designers prostitutes when we meet people half way?
As a boy in Poland, I loved reading about the romantic English sex workers of the past, and I knew that they were different from ours. We were taught about Russia and how Peter the Great met a sex worker and made her Empress. The communists argued that this showed the common touch of the great Czar, but I only thought of how the prostitute lost her freedom and became part of an oppressive and hideous elite.
My heroine was English Nell Gwyn, mistress of King Charles II. His other mistresses were aristocrats, but Nell's father sold fruit and her mother got so drunk that she fell into the Thames and drowned. But when Nell was the King's mistress and a mob was rioting, she had only to pull down the window of her coach and shout "Peace! I am the Protestant Whore!" Everyone loved her.
Nell was an actress, and she brought art and the people together. If fashion designers can sow seeds which people love, my dream of streets which look like catwalks may come true. |

The collection shown during the New York Fashion Week was collaboration between Arkadius and highly acclaimed British jewellery designer, Stephen Webster.
A modern woman, whose beauty and sensuality has to adapt to an urban lifestyle, inspired it. The city envelops her, while her elegance and femininity take in modern and sharper values.
An orchid is now her new urban mask. The symbol of this collection is an orchid. It stands for beauty, mystique and extravagance. It is the queen of all flowers with its delicacy representing the feminine sensuality and love, and its exotic power and sexuality reminding of urban strength and passion.
The orchid-woman overcomes her innate fragility. This is reflected in the edgy elegance and sharp, modern cuts of the designs.
The deep red of the orchid combined with the jewellery specially designed by Stephen Webster using the finest Tahitian Pearls with their lustre and perfect form, were the inspiration for the erotic design of the orchid print. |

The Spring/Summer 2004 collection of Arkadius will express his reflections and concerns at the present global politics.
What can we do in the present situation?
We are terrifyingly vulnerable. But we have intelligence. And we must cling to hope.
The collection is called "United States Of Mind". A positive philosophy of intuition, grace and mind is the only to fight the evil of consumer obsessed, spiritless power.
Give your own personal statement of courage. Put on Arkadius! |

Poets of the past believed that God made roses without thorns, but when human beings came to live together with all our complexities, roses grew thorns as a response to us.
The rose is a symbol of this collection. Its grace, perfume, and shape points to the beauty of love, the thorns point to our dark passions, together they symbolise ecstasy.
Poets and mystics also believed that if paradise comes for us, the rose would pull in its thorns so we can have ecstasy without pain.
I could quote our beautiful writers in Poland, but here is your famous English poet Andrew Marvell:
"The thorn, lest it should hurt her, draws
Within its skin, the shrunken claws". |

Rooster, aka le coq, or more commonly cock as we say in England was my inspiration behind the new collection for A/W 2005/2006. It was inspired by my frequent travels to Portugal, in the Summer of 2004 where I was working on an exciting project designing interior for a Farol Design Hotel, just outside of Lisbon.
Cock, is a symbol of Portugal, as they call it Gallo. It is a symbol of life and energy and vitality. It is a very cheerful animal, a very cheerful image and a very cheerful word, which in English needless to say has a double meaning!
Apart from that I was born in the year of 1969, which according to Chinese horoscope is a year of cock, a new beginning and a new chapter altogether!
This collection as all about 'joie de vivre', celebration of fun, youth and cheeky naughtiness. By playing with the word itself and images of cock, the collection is for those who dare to be different without looking over the top. It is a wearable collection for young people who enjoy to be different and are not afraid of that.
I dedicate this collection to all these people! |

The baby print in the collection signifies the word virginal: innocent, new, young. This is how we are born: completely pure. I have observed from my travels that people everywhere are alike, the only major difference being their religion. The environment we grow up in, the society we find ourselves surrounded by, and the religion we belong to moulds us in a certain way.
It is a shame that religion is often misinterpreted, alienating people and creating wars and conflicts.
Religion to me means freedom and love. Our cultures should have no boundaries. |

The collection is inspired by life in the country in Poland, not the elegance of the aristocratic estate, but by the workers and family small holders who Arkadius knew as a child.
He remembers his grandmother, Paulina, showing him her mother's clothes, and how little the styles of the people have changed: easy linens and cottons for harvesting, for stacking straw or looking for blueberries and mushrooms in the forest. A toweling material for when you have swam in rivers after work.
Arkadius also found joy in the country festivals of Poland. He is inspired by what people wore for such celebrations as "Noc Swietojanska" - St. John's Night on 24 June, when crowns of pleated straw were made. Candles were lit in them and they were put on the rivers to float for blessing and good luck. |

The collection was inspired by the legends of the Queen of Sheba. 'I was inspired by the idea that she was so young -- a teenager -- when she came to the throne,' he says, 'and that she wielded so much power not only over her own kingdom, but over King Solomon, seducing him physically and mentally with her formidable arsenal of feminine charm. I imagine her as being considerably resourceful, and I wanted the collection to emphasise the importance of having both inner and outer beauty.'
'These themes are reflected in the collection through the use of natural materials and natural colours and through designs which are sexy, feminine, enticing, but not vulgar. Some of the forms are totemic, with great drama when shown in silhouette. The designs are also very powerful -- they make the wearer feel, and look, confident and somehow regal. This effect is partly achieved through intricate, laborious craftsmanship -- we have hand beaded the clothes, embroidering some 25,000 fine cut crystals onto the surface.'
A fresh and vibrant cream, white and green colour scheme predominates, carved into dramatic, form-fitting lines. The entire collection is made with natural materials, with liberal use of fox, Mongolian wool, gabardine, and flannel. Decorative elements used are fine cut and hand beaded crystals, intricate hand crochet, and porcupine needles. |
