Fashion designer Arkadiusz Weremczuk, better known simply as ‘Arkadius’, was born in southeast Poland and graduated from Central St. Martin’s college in 1999, making his press debut two years later when his work featured in The Face, in a session directed by Isabella Blow. In 2000, Arkadius was awarded the New Generation Award by the British Fashion Council and, the next year was named by The Independent as one of the Ten Leading Fashion Designers in the UK, alongside Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, and Stella McCartney. In 2002, he received the nesta Fellowship award. Arkadius has been worn by a number of famous names, including Björk, Mary J. Blige, Pink and Adrien Brody. He has also created costumes for the Los Angeles Opera and the Polish National Opera.

Arkadius’ most celebrated collections have served as political manifestos promoting pacifism. The designer has drawn a great deal of inspiration from Catholic art and Polish folk culture. His Virgin Mary Wears the Trousers collection (s/s 2014) featured newborn babies as its central motif. The designer explained: “The baby print in the collection signifies the word virginal: innocent, new, young. This is how we are born: completely pure. People are alike, the only major difference being their religion. The environment we grow up in, the society we find ourselves surrounded by, and the religion we belong to moulds us in a certain way. It is a shame that religion is often misinterpreted, alienating people and creating wars and conflicts. Religion to me means freedom and love.” The richly-adorned gold dresses of the Holy Mother, the chalice containing the Host, the ears of grain and the images of Mary featured in the collection are all references to the baroque altars which are typically found in Catholic churches in rural Lubelszczyzna, where Arkadius was born.
