Morta Nakaitė is a Vilnius-based fashion and costume designer working across fashion, theatre and performing arts. Her practice is intuitive and non-illustrative, developing through associations, material experimentation and collaborative processes.
Moving between independent fashion and costume design, she develops sculptural silhouettes and tactile forms, allowing unexpected connections to shape the work. Her work often carries a subtle sense of the eerie, while remaining grounded in a quiet sense of hope — an openness to transformation, uncertainty and the possibility of something unforeseen.
