Symbiosis
I & II
Fashion design inspired by exhibits at the National Museum of Natural History at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Symbiosis I
It’s in our animal nature to notice when someone is watching us. In the wild, any hostile gaze could cost you a lot, especially if you’re not cautious.
Now imagine 150 eyes staring at you...
How would that make you feel?
The grey peacock-pheasant is a master of mimicry, relying on its plumage to deceive and protect itself from potential threats.
I draw analogy between a colorful, feathered hen and the “manchildren” who, through their clever tricks, deceive those around them into believing they are more than they truly are.
"The Symbiosis exhibition represents a unique bridge between nature and design. It expresses the thoughts and creative solutions of young artists, which are transformed from textiles into experimental fashion garments."
Assoc. Prof. Alexander Gerginov, PhD
Symbiosis II
The design of the peacock was transformed into subtler, simpler versions. The "over the top" garment was converted into wearable everyday designs, that are still hinting at the analogy between white-collar work wear and the grey peacock-pheasant.
