Vladimir Karaleev—Overcoming the Odds!

Although Vladimir Karaleev was born 1981 in Sofia, Bulgaria, at the age of 19 he decided to uproot himself and move to Berlin to study fashion at the University of Applied Sciences.

In 2005, Vladimir, launched his own fashion label with a debut collection entitled Cut 210.

His designs are heavily influenced by contemporary art as he experiments with shapes and cuts that, in turn, are influenced by geometric structures.

What is extraordinary about Vladimir is that he is color blind but he has surmounted the odds drawing strength from the colors taht he can see.

What an inspiration for all of us today!

Have a peek here at a select few images from his 2011 autumn/winter collection, which he exhibited at the most recent Merceds Benz Fashion Week in Berlin.

The Light Side of Dark with Petar Petrov

For autumn/winter 2010, Petar Petrov may limit his collection to the colors of black and white but not to innovation.

The collection is based on lines, which the designer creates with zippers, textures, and straps.

Slim in silhouette, this collection contains hints of bondage, goth styles, and urban trends.

Blue Skies in 2011 with Petar Petrov

After a mostly black and white autumn/winter collection this year, Petar Petrov adds a splash of blue sky to the spring/summer 2011 collection.

Additional earthy tones can be seen, as well as an innovative takeoff on the classic shirt, which he fashions into somewhat of a cutoff vest, and medical coats.

The collection is relaxed and carefree.
