My name is Marta Horovitz - I am an artist, fashion designer, film costumes maker, professional furrier and interior architect - with one goal in common - sustainability. For over a decade, I have been focused in my work on circular design, slow fashion and artisanal finish, reusing sheepskin, leather and organic textiles - and whatever I find valuable in post consumer and post production waste. Based in Krakow (Poland), I offer my design services worldwide. I make both bespoke upcycled sheepskin and leather collections and commissions for leather/fur related costumes to the films and series, design interior architecture and interior decoration. If you wish to collaborate please text me through contact form on this page or on my IG.
