THE DESIGNER
Viktoria Marchev (formerly known as Viktoria Tisza), New-York based Hungarian native fashion designer launched her brand mainly focusing on women’s swimwear. Since 2014 she has been experimenting with new technologies and she has created molded pieces of silicone rubber, a versatile material that supports her sci-fi ambience concepts.
The technology developed and the pieces created besides being visually pleasing, waterproof and enduring are highly eco-friendly, as there is no waste produced during the creative process and keeping them clean hardly needs water and chemicals. In her previous collection she upgraded the technology by injecting water between layers of silicone to create the ‘Splash’ effect. With each and every collection she stretches her boundaries to lift silicone art to a new level.
