Contact usThere is no direct translation for 'breakdown artist' in Croatia — because there is no one else doing this work at this level.
Breakdown Shupa is the only studio in Croatia offering professional costume breakdown, with credits on productions for HBO, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Sony.
The skills behind every project were shaped by Oscar-winning mentors — bringing world-class production standards to every commission, large or small.
A maintained wardrobe fund allows old garments to be restored and reused, reducing the environmental cost of newly produced costume pieces.

Gabrijela Krešić holds a Master's degree in costume design and has worked on major international productions across countries from Finland to South Africa. Breakdown Shupa is her Zagreb-based studio.
