About
My name is Elizabeth Baiko, I'm a fashion designer from Belarus. My work predominantly focuses on associations, emotions, self-understanding (fully immersing myself in a concept to understand it thoroughly through research). My approach to transforming the original source - not copying it, but associative rethinking - gives me an endless number of ideas.As a designer I enjoy the combination of handmade art and technology, past and future. The study of historical costume and its influence on modern shapes of clothing is an integral part of my life. It helps me build new connections and turn them into something more tangible. Pay tribute to the past, accepting the present, but remembering the future.My preferences: colour, experiments, mix&match, sophisticated simplicity, sence.
The “Remix70” collection is my graduation project. It includes the years from 1970 to 1979. All clothing models are united on the basis of statistical commonality, indicated by the thematic motto: mix&match. This concept comes from the 70s: a combination of designer and vintage items, ethnic and hand-made items was invented right then. There are several trends in the collection: disco with classical elements, boho and glam rock, directly referring to the era of the 70s. The synthesis of modernity and vintage can be seen in all models of the collection, which reflects a fresh approach to retro style. I wanted to recreate the essence of 70s disco, borrowing some of the patterns from that festive style, adding a dose of surprise and boldness. My collection is complemented by decor made of metal rivets, as well as accessories, for the creation of which I used beads and threads.
