Maria Piankov A/W’15: The Overview Effect Melanie StockmanAugust 1, 20158 viewsFashion0 Comments8 views Maria Piankov’s starting point was “The Overview Effect”, a term used by the Astronauts to describe the moment when viewing the earth from outer space. Astronauts describe this moment as perspective- altering, an experience which totally shifts your awareness. For Maria Piankov it sounds just breathtaking and the designer successfully found ways to translate this into fashion. Maria Piankov is a Russian born fashion designer, based in London. After graduating as a scholarship recipient in MA Fashion Design and Technology from London College of Fashion in 2014, her MA collection was shown at London Fashion Week. Powered by her affection for both Technology and Couture, Piankov`s signature lies in highly modern, technically intriguing and feminine designs. It is about an aesthetic being driven by the aid of new machinery but accomplished by traditional needlework techniques. Pure construction, modern shapes and incidental dissection of colour are key elements. Melanie Stockman Click here to view more from Maria Piankov.
