Also I seek to invent designs that donât only look intriguing, but also enhance well-being in our society, culture and environment, creating balance and sustainability. I look for sustainable innovations; this makes the design process more challenging and purposeful, creating a whole new mission for me as a fashion designer. I research into primitive ethnic techniques of different cultures, and mix them with advances in technology to create my own vision of the future. My main aim is sustainability and innovation, which results in my signature look as futuristic and ethnic. http://abykova1.wix.com/anna http://annabykova.tumblr.com/
