Meet the Founder
Jill Elizabeth Nyznerova is a fashion designer from the Czech Republic whose poetic approach to design fuses art, nature, and sustainability. A graduate of the London College of Fashion, Jill first carved her path in the heart of the fashion capital before returning home to embrace a slower, more intentional lifestyle, growing her own vegetables, raising chickens, and reconnecting deeply with the land that first inspired her.
Her brand, Marcí, is a heartfelt tribute to her mother and a reflection of her belief that fashion can be both exquisite and ethical. Each biodegradable piece is thoughtfully crafted to honour the Earth, merging couture-level beauty with quiet, conscious innovation.
An Interview
WITH JILL ELIZABETH NYZNEROVA
Discover how a personal tribute sparked a slow fashion movement. In our Founder Notes blog, Jill reveals the story behind Marcí—and why guiding emerging designers has become her life's work.
"As a sustainable fashion designer, my creative process is deeply rooted in nature. While moodboards and fabric swatches spark ideas, some of my most powerful design breakthroughs come outdoors—in the stillness of the Beskydy Mountains, where I live and work. When inspiration slows, I take a mindful pause: sipping coffee while watching my chickens roam the garden, or stepping away from the studio to water my greenhouse. These moments reconnect me to the essence of slow fashion—intentional, grounded, and in harmony with the natural world. It’s here that my most meaningful collections begin."
