Rejina draws inspiration from different art forms - sculpture, paintings, photographs, installations, and films. She is also inspired by the places and events around her, travel and culture and new experiences . Rejina also draws inspiration from the amazing women around her, each with interesting stories and a strong point of view on the world.  One of Rejina’s main strengths as a designer is distilling conceptual/artistic ideas into distinct but wearable products. Rejina’s design aesthetic is defined by its unique approach to colour, sculptural silhouettes and unconventional textures.
