About
Draž Studio, located in Ljubljana Old Town, was founded in 1991 by Urška Draž and her brother Tomaž Draž. Their mother Karolina bought the first knitting machine in 1988. In 1991, they started to research and experiment with knitting techniques including new ways of using colour, structure and design as well as sculptural techniques.
Urška Draž studied at the Department of Textiles, University of Ljubljana and in 1997 took advanced studies in fashion knitwear design at Nottingham Trent University, UK. In 2004, she graduated with a Master's degree from the University of Ljubljana. Tomaž Draž studied design at the Open University in London.
This family business started out of enthusiasm for knitting, creativity and everything beautiful. All Draž pieces are highly recognisable and unique because of the high-quality materials used, innovative techniques, distinctive design and long life-span.
Draž Studio also collaborates with other artists: in 2006, a new collection called Inventura by Aleksandra Vajd was introduced, using old elements of Draž Studio knitwear with certain pieces of clothes (coats, skirts, dresses).
Draž produces two collections per year.
