How Indi & Cold Weaves Art into Fashion
Featuring Dayna Manning with photos by Johanna Rosolen![]()
Indi & Cold's Spring/Summer 2025 collection draws inspiration from the conceptual and sculptural works of Warsaw-based artist Marcin Rusak.
Known for his innovative use of ephemeral materials, Rusak transforms discarded flowers and plant waste into enduring art pieces, exploring themes of consumption, decay, and preservation.
In this collection, Indi & Cold translates Rusak's artistic philosophy into fashion. The designers have selected delicate fabrics that mirror the fragility of petals.
The colour palette features muted tones interspersed with vibrant floral patterns, echoing the contrast between decay and vitality present in Rusak's work. This collage from Indi & Cold reveals the connections:
Rusak's process often involves embedding flowers in resin to create unique, timeless pieces.
Similarly, Indi & Cold incorporates floral motifs into their designs, symbolizing the preservation of nature's transient beauty. Some pieces feature Indian embroidery details on cotton gauze. It's an artisanal-inspired aesthetic that feels perfect for right now.
This approach not only pays homage to Rusak's techniques but also aligns with the brand's commitment to sustainability and thoughtful consumption.
By infusing their collection with elements inspired by Rusak's art, Indi & Cold offers a line that celebrates the intersection of nature and design, encouraging wearers to appreciate the beauty in impermanence and the art of transformation.
A heartfelt thank you to musician and author Dayna Manning for bringing these outfits to life, to photographer Johanna Rosolen for capturing them so beautifully, and to Heeman's garden centre and berry farm for providing such a stunning backdrop.
