Biography
editPenezic started off as a clothing and handbag designer but switched to leather gloves in 1997 while living in Germany.[1] Noticing the limited variety of glove styles, she began creating new designs with embroidery and decorations.[2] Penezic creates her pieces by hand, relying on traditional methods.[3][1] The handmade approach contributes to the uniqueness of each pair of gloves.[4]
She had her first exhibit at a Belgrade fair[1] and has presented collections in Paris several times.[3][1] She also had several solo shows like the 2011 exhibition at the Ethnographic Museum in Serbia.[5] A Hong Kong exhibit garnered her an award in 2010.[6] Her work has been seen at the Belgrade Fashion Week accessories show[7] and has appeared in fashion publications like Serbian Elle Magazine.[8] She also presented her glove designs at the 8th International Exhibition of "Wearable Art".[1] Her leather gloves are worn by royals like Kate Middleton, as well as singers Deborah Harry and Kelis.[5][1][6]
Penezic collaborates with clothing designers like Roksanda Ilincic and Ana Šekularac for their runway shows.[5] She also designs for operas, as well as theater and movie productions, such as the Serbian film "St. George Shoots the Dragon".[5] Her gloves can be found in boutiques in several European cities.[3][1] She is a member of "The Applied Artists and Designers Association of Serbia" and currently sits on its arts council.[9] She has two daughters.[1]
