My name is Ksenia, and I am a fashion designer.
Conceptual thinking, deconstruction, transformation, spatiality, and experimentation
These are the words that best describe me as a creative practitioner.
Creative Position
I see clothing as a space for personal interpretation and interaction, extending beyond its utilitarian function. I am interested in versatile, fluid, and transformable forms that allow for different ways of being interpreted and worn. In this approach, the wearer becomes a participant in the artistic act, influencing how a garment is perceived and manifests itself in space.
Conceptual Interests
In my collections, I explore themes of identity, memory, and the transformation of personal experience. I am interested in moving beyond established sociocultural clichés and approaching the human experience outside idealized images and predetermined notions. Memory emerges through the loss of familiar environments and former ways of living, feeling, and perceiving the world.
Visually, these explorations are expressed through abstraction, the blurring and distortion of meaning, and a departure from literal representation.
From the abstract print series created for the I’M NOT HERE collection.
Working Method & Form Development
In my design practice, I focus on spatial solutions, deconstruction, and the interplay between flatness and volume. Paper modeling plays an important role in my process of form development, allowing me to explore folds, planes in transition, and the spatial potential of a garment.
Shape search for TOWARD YOU / AWAY FROM YOU collection.
I work with flat elements that acquire volume and spatial expression through folds and structural frameworks. Another area of experimentation involves the disintegration and transformation of form through adjustable and transformable garment components.
UNNAMED IDENTITY collection
I am open to collaborations with fashion brands, creative studios, and independent designers who value conceptual thinking, experimentation, and an unconventional approach to clothing.
I am interested in projects that encourage creative dialogue, the exchange of ideas, and the exploration of new forms, materials, and visual languages.
Open to creative collaborations, design projects, and interdisciplinary partnerships.

CREATIVE EXPLORATIONS
01 / Can the search for individuality through belonging to a community become another form of conformity?
ZERO LAYER collection
ZERO LAYER collection
ZERO LAYER explores identity and authenticity within a culture of constantly multiplying aesthetics, subcultures, and social codes. The project proposes a return to the self through conceptual and visual purification, moving beyond imposed ideals and collective clichés. Clothing becomes a blank canvas for individual expression, while natural imprints and imperfect textures celebrate the presence of the real, unidealised human being.
ZERO LAYER collection
The collection combines clean, open forms inspired by a blank sheet of paper with crumpled textures and prints conceived as natural traces of human presence.

02 / What happens to memory and personal experience when the environment in which they were formed disappears?
