Bestiarium is a collection of thirty-three garments that behave like creatures. Each one has an anatomy, a habitat it belongs to, and a specification detailed enough to be built.

I discovered generative AI in 2025 and started making things with it. This collection came out of that — I've always been drawn to fashion, to costume, and to the avant-garde, the part of design where clothing stops being useful and starts being an argument.

I am not a fashion designer. I am an emergency physician in Serbia. This is what I do when I am not at work — and it is not the only thing. My other projects are listed at the bottom of this page.

The references are not fashion references. Haeckel's plates of radiolarians and jellyfish. The exoskeleton of a scarab. Orion's belt. The surface of the moon. A tardigrade. Honeycomb. The blue dragon nudibranch. Moroccan zellige tilework. The anatomy of a dragonfly wing. La Planète Sauvage. An olive tree. Each garment starts with a structure that already exists in the world, and asks what it would look like worn.

Every image here was generated with AI, then chosen, named and written up by me. Nothing has been sewn. Every piece is a concept design: images, a written technical sheet, proposed materials and construction. Most of them are buildable, and I have said so where they are.
