To whom a beautiful hair tie is a fashionable accessory, and to whom a whole dress … Yes, do not be surprised, it also happens. Especially if Margarita Mileva, a designer from New York, takes over. Several years ago, she had an idea to create clothes from such an unusual material; today, models in outfits from Margarita Mileva are storming fashion catwalks. Her latest creation is a dress made from 18,500 hair bands, which took about 90 hours of painstaking work.
Margarita Mileva is an architect by education, but the process of creating fashionable clothes and accessories fascinates her much more than designing houses. The 49-year-old designer says that she always dreamed of creating jewelry, sewing clothes, knitting, making collages, so the idea to create something extraordinary (namely, a dress made of hair ties) was not spontaneous. Margarita Mileva made herself most vividly at the exhibition “Wear Is Art” held in Berlin in 2011. There she presented a dress of 14235 hair ties, but, as practice has shown, she did not stop there.
For two years now, the designer has been improving in the manufacture of dresses. It is noteworthy that for her outfits she does not use any other materials, except for hairpins. One of the latest models presented to the public is made in black and orange colors. Margarita Mileva drew inspiration from the culture of the Polynesians and Maori, the indigenous population of New Zealand.
The only downside to outfits created in this unique way is their weight. The designer herself does not try on dresses, but the models have a hard time, but despite this inconvenience, they are still happy to go to the podium wearing a masterpiece from Margarita Mileva. By the way, the designer is planning to create unusual wedding dresses for individual orders, which can be decorated with designer jewelry.
