Olivia Bertus

Olivia Bertus has been active in the industry for approximately 20 years and has been gaining a lot of experience ever since. Her hand drawn prints are characterized by the use of colour and the combinations of patterns, and materials. Olivia applies her prints on fabrics and incorporates this in different products, such as bags, pillows, poufs, cuddly toys and other accessories. “I am the proudest of my own wallpaper and the fact that I work with my own fabrics. Also, the fact that people like my work for a few years now and want to spend money on it”.  Since 2010, she has participated and sold her work at Designday which is an event for self-producing designers. In 10 years-time she hopes to have a place where people feel free to walk in, “like a shop or open workspace.”

Olivia is one of the participants of the Business Development Program from Fashion House. “So far, I can manly state that FASHIONCLASH strengthens the feeling that I am heading in the right direction. It gives me confidence and that is exactly where it lacks sometime.”
