A new fashion collection, blending earthly and cosmic elements, has been launched
Besides an inspired combination of models, imagination and exploration, the creation of a brand new fashion collection is to a certain extent tantamount to a credo; the belief that by putting on certain clothes one can connect to values that are very dear to their souls. So, a fashion designer can thus turn into a magus, whose intention is that all those choosing to wear certain clothes can regain themselves in their most beautiful and purest forms.
And that's how the latest creation of artist Sophia InLak'ech appears to us, a mélange of exquisite new and old, earthly and celestial elements. Here is the artist herself at the microphone with details on the project she has been working on recently:
Sophia InLak'ech: "This is a new fashion project called Zamolxa, under which I have launched a first collection entitled "Sexy Allien Ţărăncuţă" and which very much relies on blessed clothes, as I like to call them since they are mainly made out of organic materials and fabrics. 80-90 % of them consist of linen adorned with elements of sacred geometry as well as digital prints also from this area of sacred symbols and geometry."
A topic, which seems to have blended contradictory ideas such as sensuality, outer space and an all-out rustic spirit. But where did the artist get this idea from?
Sophia InLak'ech: "The story somehow started a couple of years ago, at my first encounter with linen when I felt a very strong spiritual connection with that material. I would say it has a special sacredness, which I found running deep into my soul, being somehow linked to the very beautiful experiences I used to have while hiking in the mountains; a strong connection with an ancestral knowing of the Romanian land. That inspired me to name the collection Zamolxa, which comes from the god of the ancient Dacians, Zamolxe. All this sacred geometry is present everywhere in the territories inhabited by Romanians, which I personally associate with old time knowledge running deep in our own blood. Now let's talk a bit more about the name of this collection: 'Ţărăncuţă (which means in Romanian young peasant woman), was inspired by the fact that all these geometrical figures can be found on folk costumes all over Romania. The other part of the name, Allien, refers to the cosmological knowledge of these symbols. And I thought that blending the two elements into a story would be something very beautiful, something that links the Earth and the sky, the belief, all the values and virtues, we as people, have inherited."
All the traditional elements in the new collection have been mirrored by the embroideries and colours the artist has chosen. Here is again at the microphone Sophia InLak'ech, which has also referred to the ludic aspect of the challenge she faced in her attempt to come up with a fresh fashion collection.
Sophia InLak'ech: "Of course there is a major need that I felt to play with things and bring new colorful aspects right into our life. That's why I introduced the 'sexy' element, since, of course, a young peasant woman can also be sexy. She might also want to put on more stylish clothes, in accordance with our contemporary time. The collection I am referring to includes nine garment pieces. This is a first project of mine but have already kicked off another one, you know. And this second one seems to me much more spectacular. However, this collection is the first project of this kind that I started, a project I really got initiated through and which got me a very beautiful feedback."
The aforementioned collection could be admired on Facebook and Instagram and as artist Sophia InLak'ech has admitted, it is growing:
Sophia InLak'ech: "I have to admit, I am very enthusiastic about the next project, which I believe am going to launch within a month or so. The new collection is to include clothes for both men and women, a new story about the young peasant woman who meets a young peasant man and the two are going to have their extraterrestrial, their alien story. My intention was that all those who come and want to wear these clothes, may regain their most beautiful and purest forms."
The collection we have presented to you today is undoubtedly an invitation to joy, a joy stemming out of forms and colours, an invitation to a more profound connection with the history of these places, to personal history, to somewhere we imagine as a better place, something that is warming heart and soul.
