In Urša’s 22 years long fashion career she designed a lot of interesting collections (including collection for the plus size models and collection for the kids), she had a lot of fashions shows, she sold her collections in Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Austria … She also presented her collection in the hotel Carlton in the prestigious St. Moritz in Switzerland.
She is the most wanted designer for local and foreign celebrities and people who are on the leading positions in Slovenia and abroad. Her customers are people from all over the world who come to visit Rogaška Slatina (the place where she designs).
Her creations are very special because they cover three sizes in one dress, meaning: if the size of creation is 12 (UK size) it can also cover size 10 and 14, it depends how tight you tie-up the band. This method is very practical, but it also have an attractive effect on the women figure.)
Her client is also Christine Reiler (miss Austria 2007), who wore Urša Drofenik’s creation at the beauty pageant Miss World; the creation was nominated one of the three most beautiful dresses at the pageant in China. Christine Reiler was also chosen as best dressed by the magazine WOMAN twice in one month, at the BonBon Ball and at a film festival in year 2012.
One of the famous clienst is also Kamaliya a Ukrainian musical performer, actress, model, and the 2008 Mrs. World, who became more widely known after being featured, with her husband (Mohammad Zahoor, a British/Pakistani businessman), in the British TV-series Meet the Russians.
We are also very proud that Pixie Lott, English singer, songwriter and actress, wore one of Urša’s creation for the purpose of photoshooting in London.
