Close Up & Private for Costume National
"The Beetles News"
Beetles - it is not a mistake.
I felt like a beetle - to come, to see and fly away.
The Beatles Live in Milano 1965 was the strongest inspiration for the project.
Artist's Take on Costume National AW 11-12 Collection
The current issue of CoNSCIOUS has a fresh and new vision by Sergei Sviatchenko on the AW 11-12 collection. Sergei Sviatchenko worked on his personal interpretation of Costume National's Fall/Winter collection.
Indeed, it is his ability to blend contemporary originality with impeccable classical minimalism that motivated us to invite him as a guest of Conscious. As he often does in his blog Close Up and Private, in this project Sviatchenko mixes two techniques: photography and collage.
The result is a fresh, new vision of the collection that Ennio Capasa described as "a work that impressed me greatly". "In Sergei's work I see many of Costume National's characteristics: simplicity, attention to detail, pop style and minimalism".
