Alenka Globočnik Fabjan graduated from textile and clothing design at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, in 1994. She first caught the public’s attention with her graduation work ‘Playing with Guernica’ in 1995, where she used original techniques to transform a famous painting by Picasso into textile and clothing.
The following year came her first independent collection and a fashion performance. Akultura trade-mark was born.

Akultura is recognizable by a profusion of asymmetric and clean lines, while at the same time deviating from classical approaches and striving to surpass the mere rigid use of clothing by employing original ideas … The materials used are very precious, such as cotton and the finest thin leather. The two materials are interlaced and combined to form the integral timeless image of Akultura. Since different pieces of clothing are easily combined, the collection provides a woman with extraordinary flexibility and freedom to create her own image, thus enabling her to tell her own story.
