Fully fashioned tunique with an upside down turtle neck and two sleeves on the right side, 2015
 
The inspiration for this tunique came from the traditional Native American textiles. Their common belief was that by leaving all parts of the animal skin intact on the wearer of the garment, the human retains the full power of the animal that helps him to navigate through the world's osterities. In simpler words, they used to leave necks and legs parts of the hides, which my piece echoes with it's double turtle necks hanging down from the hemline. The distorted mind of a 21st century wearer is reflected in the distortion of the garment's pattern that has no sleeve on the left side and two sleeves on the right side.

The piece was inspired by Salvador Dali and Odilon Redlon and their use of the morphing forms to create (or highlight?) anxiety.

Fully fashioned two-piece reversible garment, 2014
 
The piece was made shortly after a coast-to-coast U.S. trip that exposed me to the most airy landscapes in the country. The relaxed, free fit nearly suggests flying in space. Each of the two pieces of the garment is reversible and can be worn separately.

Fully fashioned sweater, 2014
 
The first piece in my "nautical" collection, this sweater takes both from the military and the ordinary. It has resemblance to the fisherman’s
net, or to the medieval chain mail. A small knitted-in belt and gathering at the sleeves help the garment to flatter the form, with the darkest stripes flowing up to the shoulders and forming distinct “epaulettes”.
