SYMBIOSIS

The designer’s latest collection, SYMBIOSIS, explores concepts related to garments as ‘design objects’ in direct symbiosis with the human body. These conceptually-conceived pieces explore three kinds of symbiosis: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Nikolay Bozhilov is particularly interested in creating bold sustainable design solutions and wearable models for symbiosis on every level. SYMBIOSIS collection’s uniquely crafted pieces were specifically created to highlight a range of human-to-garment relationships demonstrated by material exploration – from hand-knitting techniques to smart fabrics. The overall aim of SYMBIOSIS is to meet the aesthetic standards of the past and present while also creating a new fashion platform for the future.

Especially for SYMBIOSIS collection Nikolay Bozhilov is collaborating with jewellery designer Neva Balnikova.
