Following up on the video I made of Vladimir Karaleev’s performance during Berlin Fashion Week, I decided to carry the episode further with a photo shoot at his studio. With this visit, I am bringing The Flog on a slightly different path but once you get a better sense of Karaleev’s work, you will understand why I have featured him here.
Vladimir Karaleev (*1981) was born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria. Moving to Berlin at the age of 19 he studied fashion design at the FHTW). In 2005 he founded his own fashion label followed by his conceptual debut collection “CUT 210”. With „Pro Forma“ F/W 2010/2011 Karaleev is presenting his 7th collection.
The design of the pieces is neither functional nor decorative. Structures disregard body shape and avoid definition.
