“𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧” – Harvey Nichols x Mateusz Kolek x Pat Guzik

在波蘭，情侶之間其中一個稱呼對方的方式是為貓。對波蘭藝術家 Mateusz Kolek 而言，貓是戀愛的象徵，他筆下的小貓經常蹤身穿梭橫街窄巷，不經意地將戀愛的感覺傳播至不同地方。

2023年，Mateusz Kolek 的新系列以愛情為主軸，配合啟發自香港電影的元素，和時裝設計師 Pat Guzik合力創作出一系列以香港及愛情為主題的作品，將藝術結合環保時裝，全新系列《I wonder when it all began》sustainable wearable art 於 Harvey Nichols 率先展出發售。

In Poland, one of the ways people call their sweethearts is “Cat”( In Polish, “Kotku”), and Polish artist Mateusz Kolek likes to draw cats as a symbol of love. Those cats in his art often walk through the narrow streets and alleys, inadvertently spreading love to different places.

In 2023, Mateusz and designer Pat Guzik took love as the main theme, immersing it with the elements from Hong Kong movies to create a new series “I wonder when it all began”, which comes along with a series of new artworks, and a collection of exclusive Wearable Art, integrating art into life through the medium of fashion. The collection would be exclusive launch at Harvey Nichols pop-up store.
