Penezic collaborates with clothing designers like Roksanda Ilincic and Ana Šekularac for their runway shows.[5] She also designs for operas, as well as theater and movie productions, such as the Serbian film "St. George Shoots the Dragon".[5] Her gloves can be found in boutiques in several European cities.[3][1] She is a member of "The Applied Artists and Designers Association of Serbia" and currently sits on its arts council.[9] She has two daughters.[1]
