Born and raised in a family which main activities evolved around the field of tailoring for over 5 generations, I can affirm that it runs through my veins. I grew up in the atelier around fabrics, machines, but more importantly people that animated the passion and engraved deep into my heart and personality, thereupon I have been sewing clothes from the early age of 14.
Following my dream of being a part of the fashion industry, after High School I have moved to Italy to work in a production house that at the time had contracts with labels like Burberry, Salvatore Ferragamo, Ermanno Scervino, Prada and many more, thanks to the experience I have learned the process of the technical part of fashion. Returning home I have decided to continue my family tradition and help local people with my skills in designing and making, but that didn’t last for long since I got the opportunity to move to London in 2015 for a BA Degree in Fashion and Textiles, which now I am currently on my last year.
I usually draw my inspiration from everyday moments, risk and comfort, melancholy and cheerfulness, people’s emotions play a subtle but important part in my daily life
Projects
- INFATUATION AW 18/19 Wearable FeelingsAn intense but short-lived ADMIRATION or PASSION for someone. The collection was inspired by feelings. The feeling of falling in LOVE with someone represented though heart prints, shades of red; the pain of a HEARTBREAK represented through the ombre red screen-print; the ANXIETY interpreted by the straps and belt-loops detailing on the high collars. The pockets of the jacket and jumpsuit resemble the HEARTBEAT when it's in movement. One key inspiration for the collection was the quote ' It's hard to open up' interpreted with the gatherings on the jackets as it restrains the fabric so it won't open up. Every piece has a meaning and every detail on it represents a bit of the complex feeling of INFATUATION. The message of the collection is encouraging us to be ourselves, accept the way we feel and not to be afraid to express it. As the designer is mostly inspired by the way people make her feel she is bringing with this a new aesthetic to her young label, 'Wearable Feelings'. It started from the fact that she is finding it difficult to express her emotions so she is showing it through the way she knows best, her designs and her styling. With 'INFATUATION' she is hoping to bring more awareness into people's lives about their feelings, it's important to stop and embrace the way we feel. Photographed by Daria Dmitrieva @dmtrvd
