Please know that your work has a meaningful impact, inspiring and touching the lives of many, myself included. Calvin Chinthaka – Photographer, London

You are a visionary! Your work is very clear and definite, it is very feminine and you have a very developed sense of proportion. The materials shine, the costumes are very strong but very sensitive at the same time. You use silk, you make conceptual wearable clothing, if we look at Converse we see changes in time, but there is only one thing that makes them original. That I want from you. I look at the sample you are proposing, with silk and lines attached, in the quilting technique. The silk has been exploited in various types throughout the history of fashion, with prints, relief structures, etc., but this is different! Prof. MARIA BONIFACIC – IUAV UNIVERSITY, Venice, Italy

I congratulated the Romanian artist Carmen Emanuela Popa for this very beautiful exhibition and I want to underline the beauty of the costumes on display which succeed in reconciling tradition, folklore and modernity at the same time, and whose style is inspired by different cultures, in particular the French royal costume of the 18th century. We can mention the HeRe-Heritage Revivals program, on the exchange of good practices in the protection of endangered heritage.

Carmen is an artist anti-system, because it brings the average man in haute couture, and this makes his work original.. MIHAELA VARGA - Art Critic, Romania

Although your works are conceptual, but you managed to do very wearable .. MIHAELA DEDEOGLU - Jurnalist RFI Romania

The military ballet theme was a very new, fresh and interesting idea to present as a new designer. This new idea was based on the classic khaki for the army look, but unexpected volumes created this different from the common result, that is why the "best catwalk" award was easy to get.
