WORDS BY THE AUTHOR / Ретроспективный. Retrospectif. Retrospective. This is what the project title means. Retrospective of Russian culture, the language in which the word is written. Retrospective of my culture, Romanian one, that is closely linked to the one named above. Retrospective of the fashion world and its history. Retrospective of my story, myself, everything I want to tell through this collection. Therefore, it’s a very intimate collection, full of feelings and passion. Colours and shapes weave the path that goes through the stories of cultures, worlds and people. To enter this collection, it’s necessary to understand it and the things behind it. It has to be visualized with the heart and not just with the eye. Letting yourself be guided by its loaded and colourful embroideries and structured forms is essential.

THE COLOUR OF STORRVELDI

If you were to guess that the self-described “esoteric designer”, Stjorn Revali, behind the label Storrveldi, was profoundly influenced by Sergei Parajanov’s The Colour of Pomegranates, you would be right. Her garments are intricately made, sprinkled with iconographic imagery and symbolism, heavy cotton lace, and Eastern European nostalgia. With the designer, we talked about the right to demand authenticity, separating the want from the need, imbuing photoshoots with storytelling, and more.

PALE BLUE DOT

“[My] pieces aren't about hiding the body; they’re about making the internal cosmic.” Fashion designer Layla Dian Jin’s generous, sometimes even sculptural silhouettes feature striking elements covered in gold foil against dark fabric, and browsing them feels like stumbling upon scattered golden nuggets in the dark sand of a cold stream. The designer sat down with us to talk perspective shifts, the silence of empty spaces, micro and macro scales, and more.
