Studio Passenger at Space05 BOX (Tirana, May 2025)

In May 2025, Studio Passenger joined the BOX Pop-Up and Talk at Tirana’s Space05, a concept store inside the city’s iconic pyramid. Over four days, Flaka Jahaj presented her latest collection — textile stories shaped by heritage, rebellion, and care. 

As described by Space05 BOX Pop-Up:

Studio Passenger is a creative studio where craftsmanship meets modern design to create unique fashion creations. At Studio Passenger, each piece of clothing is crafted consciously, reflecting Jahaj’s belief in the transformative power of fashion.

Flaka Jahaj has worked for several industry powerhouses including JW Anderson, Rick Owens, and Wolford, and holds a master’s degree from the renowned Central Saint Martins in London. Jahaj is the Swiss Design Awardee 2014; her creations have been recognized at prestigious institutions, such as the permanent collection at the Museum für Gestaltung Zurich.

Throughout her career, she has embraced traditional knitting techniques, integrating artisanal craftsmanship into every aspect of her work. The collections are both timeless and forward-thinking, characterized by their enduring appeal, archaic yet sophisticated forms, intricate handiwork, vibrant colors, and playful modularity.
