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 project "Shadows of Tibet" was born when I was a third-year university student. The idea of ​​Tibet as a creative source came to me instantly. The task was to sew one look from the entire collection of clothes. I chose the second one: trousers with an interesting turn-down waist detail and Tibetan robe "chuba" with hand embroidery and beads on cuffs. I was inspired by the paintings of the artist Nicholas Roerich and many videos about the present and past of Tibet. I have always been interested in the culture of Asia, the appearance of people, their traditions, clothing preferences, and lifestyle in general.
