Their reflection permeated all areas of her Work. In her drawings, including illustrations, in paintings, as well as in textile works - in her fashion designs, in designs of “suits” for puppets, in designs of printed textiles. From the middle of the 1910’s she worked as a designer of fashions for children, ladies and also as designer of shoes for Prague cooperative „Zádruha". In this work she drew on her knowledge of patterns, colors, and decorations of folk costumes, gained through her explorational journeys in the Czech lands, to Slovakia and the Balkans.

In the year 1925 she was awarded a gold medal in the International exhibition of applied arts and industry in Paris for “textile works”.

Through this work, the painter wrested an important role in the “Czech peculiar” movement.
