About
ZOKKI, an artist and fashion designer, was born and raised in Serbia, where she was deeply influenced by the serene beauty of the natural world. Growing up beside a river and surrounded by wildlife, ZOKKI found inspiration in the everyday wonders that many people might take for granted. This landscape of flowing water and vibrant nature fostered a love for art, leading ZOKKI to draw and design from a young age, filling sketchbooks with imaginative art and clothing ideas.
Fashion has been a part of ZOKKI's life since childhood, woven into the very fabric of her family heritage. Coming from a lineage of skilled tailors, ZOKKI’s mother and grandparents lived and worked as tailors in Paris during the 1970s, where they honed their craft in one of the fashion capitals of the world. This family legacy brought ZOKKI into close contact with the art of tailoring, and it was in this atmosphere that fashion became a shared language of love. As a child, ZOKKI would design clothing for her dolls, and in a special collaboration of creativity, her mother would bring these designs to life tailoring them at work, reinforcing the connection between imagination and craftsmanship.
During the economic hardships that swept through Serbia, ZOKKI's ingenuity and resilience were further nurtured. In these challenging times, ZOKKI and her grandmother would gather any available materials to create unique, handmade clothing pieces—dresses, shirts, pants, and jeans—that expressed both resourcefulness and artistry. This experience instilled in ZOKKI a profound understanding of fashion not just as an aesthetic choice but as a transformative medium capable of conveying positive energy and beauty.
Every piece that ZOKKI creates today is imbued with this sense of love and purpose, a “little bit of magic” that she aims to share with the world. Through thoughtful designs, ZOKKI seeks to make every woman feel special, seen, and celebrated. Each garment is more than just fabric and stitching—it’s a manifestation of love, beautiful intentions, and a passion for making women feel uniquely powerful and connected.
Now based in Australia, living in Sydney and Brisbane, ZOKKI continues to honour her heritage and creative philosophy by blending her deep-rooted love for nature, family tradition, and design. With every creation, ZOKKI invites wearers to experience a piece of this journey and to feel the beauty and positivity that each garment is designed to inspire.
