DORA BUDOR and MAJA ČULE are a Brooklyn based artist/design duo with Eastern European orgins. Cheeky and freaky, these young, progressive ladies create playful mixes of lewd taboos, everyday vices, and iconic imagery. Out of the competing 20 best designers worldwide, D&M were rewarded with the New Visual Artist Award by American Print magazine.

If you still need proof of the misses salacious creativity, read their very personal story below:

• DORA was a rebellious teenager growing up in eastern Europe, surrounded by stacks of chicken pate, folk music and bald-headed men with all hair on their back. Not knowing how this would influence her future career, she met MAJA over speed-dating table where she answered correctly on question what is the meaning of life and stopped her from stealing a plastic chair for her collection. She hardly recognized MAJA at design school few years after because she was wearing bear head as she was a very pretentious fashion victim.

• MAJA grew up travelling around eastern European Youth Tennis Centres, dreaming of becoming a star tennis player. She spent all her free time punching tennis balls and making collage decorations for weddings in suburban party halls. Not knowing how this would influence her future life, she went for a speed dating session, where she met DORA who impressed her with her origami skills by making the little salt and pepper holders out of napkin. MAJA decided to kiss the tennis racquet goodbye. She hardly recognized DORA at design school few years after because DORA was wearing a rabbit suit as she was a very pretentious fashion victim.
