EXHIBIT 91 / LOOKBOOK
My lookbook was shot in a traditional Soviet-era style apartment downtown Sofia, Bulgaria. The concept of the photoshoot was to depict the femininity of the Eastern European women that goes by the idea of "being soft is to be powerful". She is brave as a worrier but soft like a flower. She is on a par with men but she never looses her femininity.
Since the color board for the collection was inspired by the Soviet "Innerness", the garments matched perfectly the colors and the worm feeling of the apartment. Colors, wood, brocade, glassware and worm natural light all together made this infusion of emotions that boost the idea behind the concept. I believe the garments "fit" their purpose with this photoshoot, the message was sent.

EASTERN EUROPEAN SERIES
"EASTERN EUROPEAN SERIES" is a time-capsule of post-Soviet space, it depicts the culture, the lifestyle and the architecture of the unknown part of Europe. The idea behind the book was to be used as a primary research for my graduation collection as well as a time-capsule. As the years fly, this Eastern Europe will disappear forever due to the high speed of westernization and the lack of photo evidence, will be remember by no one. As most people would say, "there is not much to remember of it" but I believe the truth is, there is a whole history absorbed by it and despite It was a dark time in history, we should remember the past as it was in order to progress in the future.
