Working on recycling project, remaking old clothes into new exciting garments In my designs I like to tame the essence of psychedelic free-spirit with elegance of refined aesthetics. I am an inventor; I experiment with innovative techniques, unorthodox materials and compose new formulas. Also I seek to invent designs that don’t 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. In my latest collection I explore the idea of esotericism. This is a theory that there is something beyond the materialistic world, which we can not rationalize with our 5 senses, branching out into phenomena of spirituality and the new age movement. New age movement draws the ideas from ancient and perennial wisdom teachings seek to gain higher knowledge of our being, such as Buddhism, ancient Maya, Hinduism, Aztecs, also scientific theories, such as the chaos theory blur the line between science and religion. People that are part of the contemporary new age movement tend to be interested in travelling. A sleeping bag would be one of the main items carried by them since it’s easily fold-able. There from comes the decision to marry the ideas of re-incarnation, travelling, and sustainability (up cycling and deconstruction of sleeping bags). http://abykova1.wix.com/anna http://annabykova.tumblr.com/
