QπШ – Robert Kupisz

Kupisz is one of the most charming characters on the style scene, having evolved from a professional dancer to celebrity hairstylist and most recently one of Warsaw’s hottest fashion icons. After dabbling with design for a few years he finally decided to open up a flagship boutique in Warsaw, plus offshoots in Poznań and Kraków. In Warsaw the boutique is a decidedly low-key setup and not so easy to find, hidden in the courtyard at Mokotowska 48.

Inside it’s a snug little place with a hair salon setup on one side and racks of soft leathers, denims, cottons and silks on the other. While some of the pieces are a bit too raw, there are a few items that really caught the eye, such as a luxuriously soft black leather jacket and comfy maxi dresses in hand-dyed fabrics. And that’s the real clincher: all the clothes are made by hand for every aspect of production – cutting, sewing, dyeing, distressing.
