Meet Stefan Kartchev – a jury member of Idea Moda 2026!

Stefan Kartchev trained as a fashion designer in Antwerp. He has worked in the industry in roles spanning design, development, and production. His practice moves fluidly across fields, including fashion, costume, and spatial design, and intersects with performative interventions. Currently, he engages contemporary artists and craftspeople rooted in traditional practices from Bulgaria, creating collaborative spaces where new, hybrid worlds emerge. Slower, craft-based processes bring depth and focus, offering a counterpoint to the fast-paced creative industry.
