LENA, September '24

This September, we had the privilege of doing an inspiring photoshoot with Lena, a young athlete with a passion for gymnastics.

Lena is wearing MODYSSEY's Shirt 0.2 & Shirt 0.7. Both shirts are made from organic fabrics, such as cotton and linen, gently crafted in Croatia. 

 

Lena is in her early teens, and has already won various competitions in Croatia and Europe. However, her remarkable journey began much earlier. Due to bone growth issues causing persistent pain in her legs, her orthopedist recommended gymnastics or ballet as a solution to help manage and alleviate her symptoms when Lena was just 3 years old. Lena's physical challenges drove her to discover gymnastics, which ultimately led to her remarkable success. By the age of 4, she was already competing.

But as we know, excellence cannot be achieved quickly or easily. Her schedule is extremely tight. In addition to successfully attending middle school, Lena puts in over 20 hours of intense training every week to achieve her gymnastics dreams. Lena's hard work proved that effort is worth it, yielding an impressive collection of over 30 medals. Her notable achievements include winning Zagreb City Champion and National Group Competition Champion titles. This year, she also shone at London's Spring Cup, securing first place in Rhythmic Gymnastics with Ball, third place with Hoop, and first place in Group Performance. I am confident Lena's medal count will surely continue to grow. 

 

Lena is a real inspiration. Her unwavering commitment to gymnastics, requiring immense time, effort, and consistency, aligns perfectly with Modyssey's brand mission. I firmly believe that true excellence can't be achieved through shortcuts. Just as Lena's dedication yields remarkable results, selected shirts for this photoshoot embody quality, sustainability, and hard work. Additionally, the shirts feature sleek, ergonomic cuts that perfectly complement Lena's dynamic movements during the photo shoot, including dances, soaring jumps, and effortless leaps. Photo shoot with Lena was all about capturing strength and grace.
I am thrilled to see where her passion and dedication take her.
Keep flying!

CHANGE IS AN INSIDE JOB

In this introductory blog I wanted to roughly point out the problems in the fashion industry. These are topics we will discuss much more about. My point is not to encourage people to stop buying clothes or that we have to stop producing a clothing, which would certainly contradict my work. MODYSSEY is committed to building a better system and encourage us to make clothes that are better for us, the people around us and for the planet we live on...
