Urban Queens – Uros Mikic

Uros Mikic says he was influenced  by the streets of New York City and the originality he witnessed. Personified by strong structures, Urban Queens was deconstructed to achieve a 70’s Bohemian-inspired look with softness and movement. The Streets of New York were more about texture, form and sharp geometrical shapes. Uros introduced intriguing details with braids and sharp lines fading to simple unique cuts bespoke for the individual.
