A melange of eccentric, classy and strange, odd Janko draws on elements
of Slovak decorative folk dress and symbolism, and the old Central European charm. I created this range of wearable art creations for grown-up eccentrics, offering an elevated and sophisticated clothing line, infused with the drama and melancholy of my Motherland.
After temporarily moving back to my hometown Bratislava in 2020, I took my exploration of my cultural heritage further and created a small fashion brand that would help me explore and celebrate my ‘slovakness’ and introduce the brooding intensity of what I refer to as ‘Danube Noir’ with my fellow eccentrics in the UK, where I and the brand are based.
Odd Janko items are produced responsibly in small runs.
I combine a dramatic, enchanting aesthetic with modern-day values for disenchanted, environmentally conscious consumers.
The collection now includes an artisan perfume, and a limited range of hand-picked, reworked vintage items.
