Statement

Ludus is a contemporary Macedonian fashion brand, founded in 2010 by designer Dragan Hristov, focusing on craft and artisanal knowledge. Drawing on ancient textile traditions, it creates minimal, timeless garments using natural monofibers, plant-based dyes, and zero-waste pattern making, translating pre-industrial techniques into a refined contemporary language.
Ludus Artisanal Studio, recently founded at Center Rog in Ljubljana, expands this approach through experimental, hands-on production centered on handwoven clothing. It brings together artisanal practises including hand dyeing and the development of repro handmade materials, fostering collaborative work that foregrounds the continued relevance of traditional textile practices in contemporary design.
