Description
LUKOMORYE explores how mythology can manifest through fashion — how ancestral fears, archetypes, and transitional states take shape in textile, silhouette, and surface. Rooted in Slavic folklore and demonology, the project presents a series of expressive garments that act as vessels for mythic presence. Rather than illustrating stories, the work channels emotional and symbolic archetypes through sculptural forms, hand-crafted textures, and experimental material processes. Figures like the disruptive Chort or the sorrowful Rusalka emerge through tension, layering, and visceral tactility. LUKOMORYE approaches fashion as a ritualistic practice — a way to transform the intangible into something embodied, where myth is not worn, but lived through the body.
