About The Great Silk Road Primary Function: Колекция дамско облекло

Великият път на коприната е колекция дамско облекло, вдъхновена от историческия търговски маршрут, свързвал Изтока и Запада. Колекцията се състои от двадесет облекла, включително шапки. Всяко изделие е изработено от натурални тъкани и украсено ръчно с ленти от естествена коприна. Шапките са изработени изцяло на ръка от копринени тъкани с различни текстури. Шарките повтарят вятъра върху пустинните пясъци, оризовите тераси на Китай и линиите на скалните разломи. Всяко изделие е представено като пощенска картичка от туристическа дестинация. Кутюрните облекла могат да бъдат комбинирани и носени в ежедневието.

Production Technology: For the manufacture of decor in my work, ribbons made of natural silk were used. These ribbons are sewn by hand. Patterns on products repeat patterns of wind in the sand, rice terraces in China, patterns of faults in rocks.
Design Challenge: This design was quite complicated in execution, because the main work was done manually. It took a lot of time. And I also wanted to convey a complex range of impressions from studying the history of the Great Silk Road.
Research: This collection is an attempt to combine the eastern and western cultures that are inside of me. This is a story about the beauty of the East, as travelers of the Great Silk Road once told about it many centuries ago. Each item is a postcard from different travel destinations or a valuable gift in the East. You can see the rice terraces of China, and the night peonies in the Japanese garden, and the wind patterns on the sands of the desert, and feel the coolness of the oasis, and open the Chinese casket
Inspiration: The Great Silk Road is not just a trade route, it is a unique historical phenomenon that introduced two different worlds - east and west. This is the appearance of new cities and countries, this is the spread of science and culture, this is the path to unknown and new discoveries. This collection is my view of the mysterious east. Blooming Japanese gardens, patterns of wind on the sands of the desert, cool oases, desert mirages, rice terraces, varnished Chinese caskets can all be seen in my collection.
Project Duration: The project began in 2013, when the first coat in this technique was created.
Then the collection was gradually replenished.
In 2018, an exhibition was held in Russia, the city of Samara, called the Great Silk Road.
