Collaboration has always been at the heart of GONOE’s creative journey, and this year we had the privilege of partnering with Slovakia’s most respected fashion house NEHERA. What began as a shared dialogue about sustainability, innovation, and the value of craftsmanship evolved into a truly inspiring project: NEHERA’s first upcycled collection, created in collaboration with us.

When we were invited to upcycle archive pieces from NEHERA’s previous collections, as well as stock fabrics and materials, we saw it as a rare opportunity to merge heritage with experimentation. Our goal was to breathe new life into existing garments, not by erasing their past, but by allowing their history to become part of something new.

Through deconstruction, dying process, reassembly, and innovative textile manipulation, we aimed to highlight the tension between precision and imperfection, tradition and reinvention.

As we continue to evolve, this collaboration stands as a milestone, one that reflects our commitment to innovation, responsibility, and the continual redefinition of what contemporary Slovak fashion can represent.
