"
1. You sunk all the ships in my shore and left me a barren country.
2. The ashes of your last kiss scald my mouth.
3. You have left my bones crooked, unaligned when you wrenched yourself outwards from my skin.
4. I’m still a fool for the hush of your breath.
5. You’re a criminal, a derelict, you’ve unscrewed the corner of my mind and left fingerprints all over this crime scene.
6. The supernova you left me with is beautiful, but unsatisfying.
7. My loneliness breaks my back.
8. I was never a wordsmith, you taught me the meaning of want.
9. Let me chart the ghost of your memory before I forget the contours of your thighs.
10. I’ll veil the light over your eyes and drain away your nightmares if you’ll let me touch your face, one more time, again, again.

"There are a million ways to bleed. But you are by far my favourite."

“The uniform became the main inspiration. These are the models of a very simple silhouettes with specific surrealistic prints. The main theme is still the wood, already not so real, but surreal, fairy-like, full of fantastic animals and unusual plants: instead of wings ducks could have leaves, and there suddenly could be mouse growing on blackberry bushes. For this collection I created the prints by transforming my illustrations that’s why there is an impression that the prints have been drawn on a fabric with a simple pencil.
While creating this collection, I imagined the teenage girl from the Soviet past, with bows, stockings and in a traditional school uniform. It is, in some way, nostalgia on an image of the Soviet school student, but changed and passed through a prism of modern perception.”
