"Active since the early '90s, a Belgrade artist Ljudmila Stratimirovic has become one of the most original artists currently working on the local scene. From the very beginning, the focus of her interest was production of hats. In the series of hats she has produced so far she has steered away from commercial concerns and instead shown great attention to the shape of each individual hat as well as engaged in research of the forms and materials such as rubber etc.
From the start, a particular feature of Ljudmila Stratimirovic work has been directing great attention and creative energy toward the presentation of her hats. Her shows have continuously pushed the limits of a regular form of fashion show, by introducing theatrical elements, in making unusual choices for models, selection and presentation of music, etc. Gradually, her fashion shows have become a multi-layered multimedia form. In fact, the hats have been used as a starting point for creation of a complex theatrical expression. This creative effort has led Ljudmila to establish her Theatre of Hats. Inspiration, search, experiment, innovation and multimedia are the hallmarks of Ljudmila Stratimirovic work.” (D. Puresevic)
