art has a strong influence on. Vladimir Karaleev. New shapes and
experimental cuts form the center of the creations of the bulgarian
designer Vladimir Karaleev, who creates extraordinary womens- and
menswear. The creative handling of materials works in combination with
the conceptual design. Karaleev goes against the traditional shapes and
cuts and creates instead innovative silhouettes, that are strongly
influenced by geometric structures. His close bond with the art scene is not
only expressed through his conceptual approach but also through the
presentation of his fashion.
