Fashion 1st place winner

We were inspired by the handicraft practices of Kyrgyzstan and the vibrant aesthetics of nomadic culture. Each image tells its own story through symbols, colour and shape, while retaining the craftsmanship of its execution. The shoot brings together favourite practices of the region: felt work, traditional embroidery, vintage jewellery, and artefacts of traditional m-bow shooting

We dedicate this work to the artisans who are the bearers of traditional culture and who preserve ancient knowledge and skills. We want to be among those who mentor a new generation of creators to study amazing examples of material culture and create contemporary fashion based on them.

Photographer and designer from Moscow, working in the genre of staged photography, creating commercial and personal projects. I am interested in creating an authentic fictional world in the frame and populating it with characters with their own logic and character. I also look for these characters in the real world - there are so many stories just waiting to be told.

Areas of interest:
- Folkloristics and the structure of fairy tales;
- ethnography and history of the region;
- the history of fashion, the impact of clothing on the individual;
- societies and social institutions with distinctive and unique features;
- charisma and charismatic personalities of the past and present.
