Anelia Antova
Anelia Antova graduated with her BA and MA in Fashion from the National Academy of Arts, Sofia. She is currently working as a 3D fashion artist at PixelPool and is also a freelance fashion designer developing various projects in the field of art and design. She participates in many festivals and competitions in Bulgaria and around the world.
The love for all time experiments and learning new skills leads her to a large range of various projects in the Fashion field and beyond. No matter if she is creating clothing and accessories out of fabrics or building nets, sand, experimenting with bioplastic, the conceptual fashion design was always her favorite of all. „The bigger the range of materials and the more unexpected they are – the better“, says Anelia. Creating clothes in a virtual environment, fashion illustrations, movies, styling are the other preferred things to occupy my time with. Among her favorite activities are developing clothes in virtual environments, styling fashion, illustrations and films on the subject.
DESIGN IS: ephemeral eternity.
