My practice

I am an independent fashion designer and pattern maker based in Riga, Latvia.

I work across all stages of garment creation — from concept and pattern development to cutting and sewing.

I develop patterns digitally using Grafis, valuing its precision and technically accurate grading.

My focus is on structure, clean geometry, and precise construction, creating garments that balance form, function, and long-term wearability.

APPROACH and PRACTICE

Design

The design language is rooted in futuristic and cyberpunk aesthetics, influenced by science fiction cinema.

The focus is on clean lines, controlled proportions, and structured silhouettes.

Wearability

The clothing is designed to be worn.

Some pieces are subtle enough for everyday use, while others are more expressive and suitable for performance, stage, or cosplay.

Construction

Each piece is developed with close attention to construction, fit, and material behavior.

Fabrics, threads, and components are selected for durability and consistency. Every item is cut and sewn individually in the studio.

Longevity

The work is small-scale.

The goal is to create clothing that remains relevant over time — pieces meant to be worn regularly, not replaced.

Garments produced in the studio and available to order.

FUTURISTIC AND CYBERPUNK INSPIRED CLOTHING

I design and make each piece in my small studio in Riga, Latvia. From pattern development to cutting and sewing, everything is done in-house in small batches.

My work focuses on structured silhouettes, clean lines, and functional design — from everyday wearable pieces to experimental garments suitable for cosplay and performance.

Materials, Construction & Process

Frequently asked questions

DESIGN & FIT
Is this just cosplay clothing?

Not at all. I design these pieces for daily wear-for people who genuinely love this aesthetic and want to wear it in their everyday lives. Yes, you can absolutely use them for cosplay, but that's a bonus. The primary focus is creating functional, wearable clothing for those who appreciate this style as authentic personal fashion.

What's the difference between your cyberpunk and techwear pieces?

Techwear focuses on technical function-high-performance materials, modular pockets, straps, durability. Cyberpunk is about the aesthetic and attitude-futuristic silhouettes, structured design, dark palettes, utilitarian details. I blend both: pieces that are beautiful to look at and actually comfortable to wear every day.

Why are the silhouettes so structured?

Because I think fashion should be intentional, not just following trends. The structure creates something visually interesting and architecturally sound. It might take a moment to find how a piece fits your body, but once you do, that structure becomes part of why you love wearing it.

Will these actually fit me?

My pieces vary - some are very fitted, some have more loose fit, depending on the design. I don't make oversized or "one size fits all" because that's just a bag that fits nobody. If you prefer looser fits or have a larger build, some pieces might feel tighter than you're used to - I won't pretend otherwise. Additionally, different garments fit different body areas, so you might wear a Medium bodice but a Large shrug. Some pieces also limit movement by design - it's a conscious choice between fit and comfort, and I always aim for the most comfortable fit while maintaining the look.

Why do you design separate men's and women's pieces?

Because bodies are shaped differently and it affects how garments drape. Men typically have wider shoulders and narrower hips - volume is distributed to accommodate shoulder width and chest structure. Women have wider hips and different upper body structure due to bust placement - volume is distributed to accommodate that. This front-to-back balance is crucial to how the piece actually sits on your body. To achieve the same aesthetic on different proportions, the garment needs to be shaped accordingly.

Dfferent sizing systems help avoid confusion during production, quality checks, packing, and order processing. That's why I use alphabetical sizing for men (XS-XXL) and numeric sizing for women (34EU-44EU).

Check the detailed measurements on each product (they're specific and honest) and reach out if you have questions about whether a specific piece will work for your body.

Are these comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. I wear everything I design, so comfort matters deeply to me. The materials breathe, the construction supports movement, and the designs are meant for real people living real lives-not models or costumes. You should be able to move, work, and live in these pieces.

Can I style these with normal clothes?

Absolutely. I style them with classic dress shirts, jackets, feminine dresses, military shoes, neutral basics - anything that creates contrast. My pieces add edge to any outfit. When I need to dress up for an event, I combine "regular" style clothing with my designs so I fit the occasion but still follow my aesthetic. The key is letting my pieces be the statement while keeping the rest simple.

CARE & DURABILITY
How long do pieces last?

Years - serious years. My friends and family still own my original designs from years ago. I have pieces I made 5, 7, even 9 years ago that I still wear regularly and have no plans to get rid of. With proper care, these pieces are designed to last a decade or more. They're not trend pieces meant to fall apart-they're built to become part of your wardrobe for the long term.

How should I care for my pieces?

Follow the care labels-most pieces wash well in cool water. Air dry when possible. Minimal wear and creasing actually adds character. These pieces are meant to be worn and lived in, not preserved in perfect condition.

How do you ensure quality in each piece?
  • Each garment is cut and sewn individually to provide accuracy of geometric elements.
  • We use a special sewing machine foot to make sure the decorative seams are the same width.
  • Labels are sewn on separately so you can remove them without damaging the garment.
  • Garments made of knit-jersey fabric (sweaters, shirts, dresses, gloves, scarves, legwarmers) are sewn using a special stretchy thread Eloflex.
What materials do you use and why?

We deliberately source fabrics and accessories from workwear and technical clothing industries — that's where durable, high-performance materials actually are. Our two main fabrics are viscose jersey and softshell.

Viscose is as breathable as cotton but softer — it's why we chose it as our primary fabric. Softshell is a modern technical material that's breathable yet wind and waterproof.

ABOUT ZOLNAR
What makes ZOLNAR different from other brands?

I design every piece and control the entire process from my studio in Riga. While I have employees who help with production, I create all the documentation they follow to ensure consistency. I also do quality checks on every order to make sure what you receive matches the product photos-same quality, same visuals. It's not mass production or outsourcing; it's controlled, intentional production with hands-on oversight.

Why these styles specifically?

Because I'm genuinely passionate about futuristic, structured design. Cyberpunk and techwear represent function, intentionality, and refusing to follow conventional rules. That's what I want my work to be about-clothing that means something to the people who wear it.

Can I customize or modify pieces?

Yes. I offer custom options including sleeve type changes, fabric switches, custom colors, and custom sizing. I also love when you make pieces uniquely yours - adding patches, making adjustments, or other creative modifications. Share what you create; I'd love to see how you personalize them.

Who is ZOLNAR?

Me-Eva. I'm an independent fashion designer and pattern maker working from a small studio in Riga, Latvia. I design and make everything in-house because I care deeply about the quality and meaning of each piece. This isn't a brand trying to sell you something; it's me creating clothing I genuinely believe in.
