EXTENDING THE LINE
Possession is Viktoria’s third F/W collection after ‘The Tie’ and ‘In The Cocoon’, taking her silicone rubber art to the level of evening gowns and coats covered all with glitter and hand paints. She has been selected to showcase her collection receiving a significant sponsorship opportunity in the framework of CAAFD Emerging Designers showcase at New York Fashion Week, at Industria SuperStudios in February of 2019.
PAINTED PATTERNS
The designer was always into creating her own unique patterns allowing her to make one of a kind pieces. In recent years she used 3D geometric patterns, benefiting from the pouring and molding technology of silicone making, this time one of her new experimentations was to create her own color based patterns to create an icy bluish color scheme for the first set of the collection.
CONCEPT BASICS
The idea behind the collection is the possessive ambition we women all practice when the one we love gets obsessively important. The glamorous pieces are all metaphors of this endeavor of monopolistic ownership, the emotional greediness we experience. The icy whites and blues represent the stage when we rather decide to isolate ourselves from the overwhelming nature of emotions. The golden and red pieces provide a releasing solution how to turn obsession into caring love by becoming queens in our relationship through understanding selfless giving instead of possessive dominance.

GLAMOUROUS GLITTERS
The shiny pieces are created by applying two different techniques depending on the desired outcome. Those for 2-sided pieces and those that only have glitter on their surface.
