DESIGNER
Tomislav Bahorić was born in Zagreb. After Art school, he graduated Fashion Design on Faculty of Textile Technology in Zagreb. He has launched his own men’s fashion brand, named Spirit by T.B., in 2009. So called conceptual, thought-out, minimalistic design soared him in the very center of fashion orbit, so he became a favorite of critics and audience overnight. „A gift from heaven for croatian men’s fashion“, „New hope of men’s fashion“, „Bahorić legend lives on“ are just few of flattering media titles.
