REVIVAL

Revival is a fierce,rebellious take on Avant-garde luxury. It is a season-less collection posed to empower people through the raw, unique beauty birthed from recycled plastic materials. The designs are a mix of feminine lines, soft drapings with strong distorted structures and shapes the purpose is to blend the contrasting worlds of life, death and rebirth. Each phase is depicted through the recycled plastic structures which are burned into distorted shapes and forms representing the ugliness and darkness in the individuals lives.

My name is Zara Staleva, I'm originally from Bulgaria and I'm currently living in the United States. I`m a graduate from the University of Cincinnati- Design Art Architecture and Planning.
My brand is called STALEVA and is an Avant-garde brand focused on sustainability and authenticity. Due to the technique used to create the pieces, each is one of a kind. The designs are futuristic, extravagant and will make a person stand out of the crowd.
