Imagine the wild Atlantic waves crushing against the sharp rocks of the shore, whose unbridled nature can only be comforted by the greeting of the burning sky at sunrise. Welcome Iva Burkert, the third female Katarzist, as sensual and immediate as Portugal's endless horizons by the ocean.
Years ago, she founded the brand ODIVI in Prague, with which she started not only a fashion wave of sexy daily wear, but above all a specific combination of lifestyle that connected the city and nature. Iva will make you put your values in a pyramid and finally not be afraid to experience things. Start in a cute outfit, but don't be afraid to bare your body and soul right away and overcome the challenges that life presents alongside a stylish redhead.
Iva is not a classic designer, we prefer to think of her as a creator — fashion, upcycled furniture, expressive events, high mountain adventures, Portuguese cottages, and most importantly a life ~ one that doesn't let you sit in a corner.
If you were one human sense, what would you be and why?
TOUCH , I am an extremely haptic person. Through touch, you can perceive most elements, love, passion and the current state of the environment, nature. The breath on the skin tells everything about your loved one, the intensity of the touch is like an opinion.
If you imagine yourself as a perfume, what essence will we smell?
Salt, rosemary, jasmine and ylang. By the ocean complemented by eucalyptus.
One adventure without which your life would have no meaning.
Unplanned motherhood. How the initial make-believe nonsense became one of the main senses.
Did your purpose in life or your senses change with the arrival of Tony?
Haha, I read this question after writing the previous answer. I don't think they changed. I still have the same values and urges, they are just supplemented and, above all, expanded.
The most senseless travel experience…
Every sunset seems like an absurdly beautiful experience to me, it fascinates me. And then extreme weather changes in the mountains. One overtook me when I was dragging a 4-month-old baby to a mountain climbing hut at 2,500 meters above sea level, and instead of the dreamy sun, it started snowing halfway to the summit.
