ASYA-JACLYN GEORGIEVA PETKOVA, A FASHION DESIGNER (B. 2003 IN KOTEL CITY, BULGARIA) FROM AN EARLY AGE, ASYA-JACLYN WAS CAPTIVATED BY THE BEAUTY OF TEXTILES. IT WAS HERE THAT THEIR LOVE FOR DESIGN EMERGED, SHINING IN TEXTILES, AND THEY GRADUATED WITH FABRIC MANIPULATION, GARMENT CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNICAL SKILLS.
LAUNCHED IN 2020, ASYA-JACLYN IS KNOWN FOR ITS INNOVATIVE, AVANT-GARDE DESIGNS THAT CHALLENGE THE NORMS OF FASHION WITH BOLD SILHOUETTES AND UNEXPECTED MATERIAL COMBINATIONS. THEY WORKED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY IN BLACK, GRAY AND BEIGE, WITH AN ALLEGIANCE TO MINIMALISM AND A LOVE OF TEXTURE AND STRUCTURE. THESE NEUTRAL SHADES ARE RECONFIGURED INTO UNEXPECTED SHAPES AND SILHOUETTES, RESULTING IN CLOTHES THAT STRADDLE THE LINE BETWEEN ART AND FASHION.
DESIGNED BY ASYA-JACLYN'S CREATIVITY, A DARING APPROACH TO TRADITIONAL MUSINGS BRINGS THEIR DESIGNS TO LIFE MERGING AN OTHERWORLDLY EXPERIENCE WITH RAW ORGANIC WONDERS. EACH COLLECTION REPRESENTS ITS OWN NARRATIVE AND A QUESTIONING OF THE CONSTRUCTIONS OF FASHION, SCULPTURE, AND PERFORMANCE. MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE RECOGNIZING THEIR WORK IN THE INDUSTRY AS CAPTIVATING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING, YET ORIGINAL AND WELL-CRAFTED.
AS A NEWLY EMERGING DESIGNER, ASYA-JACLYN IS SATILL IN THE EARLY STAGES OF HER "CAREER" WHERE SHE’S SEEKING TO PUSH THAT ENVELOPE IN THE WORLD OF FASHION; WISHING TO BE AN INFLUENCE OF THE NEXT CYCLE OF AVANT-GARDE FASHION. ASYA'S DESIGN JOURNEY ESSAY IS AN EXPLORATION OF LINES AND CROSSES.
