About: Chopova Lowena juxtaposes folklore and sportswear with a concentration on sustainability and craft. Their anthropological approach to design is defined by observations and modernisation of traditional textiles, crafts and techniques. Using nuanced intersections between worlds and themes, they seamlessly collate references from Bulgarian folklore to 1980s rock climbing. They strive for their designs to honour these references, but also to create something completely hybrid. In accomplishing their aesthetic vision, they prioritise sustainability through the utilisation of recycled materials and deadstock textiles, often in the form of pillowcases and aprons. Their ethical dogma translates to their employment of skilled female artisans employed in Bulgaria. Through the cultivation of a community of seamstresses, they are able to create job opportunities for women passionate about rejuvenating cultural heritage through the preservation of traditional techniques.
