Julia Mazur (@to.mazur) is a multidisciplinary designer and a recent University of the Arts London (LCF) graduate in FDT: Womenswear (2022).
With experience across Theatre and Film, as of right now, her practice is mainly focused on performatively translating the abstract symbolism into formalistically ascetic forms, both through unifying movement and body.
Julia’s most recent work, her final collection called ‚Holokaustos’ (ὁλόκαυστος), from ὅλος (hólos, “whole”) + καυστός (kaustós, "burnt") or καίω (kaíō, "I burn”), is a tribute to the Polish accountant and philosopher- Ryszard Siwiec, who was the first person to commit suicide (by self-Immolation) in protest against the Warsaw Pact invasion on Czechoslovakia in 1968.
In each of her looks, Human(s) behaves like Fire that melts one body into another body and Fire acts like a Human, so it covers up (dress up) the whole body with a full body cover forms and spiky, fire stakes interpretations (creating human flames).
