ANATOMY

The concept of the ‘ANATOMY’ is a womenswear MA graduation collection is based on a study of human anatomy. This collection is a Thesis Project and it was demonstrated during the final graduation show in Saint-Petersburg's State Academy of Art and Design.

During 6 years of studying in the State Academy of Art and Design designers practiced drawing nude and studying the anatomy of a human body. Whilst researching this topic for the graduation project, the designer concentrated on the two most significant periods in the history of art - Medieval and Renaissance The analysis is focused on body image and anatomy through the prism of the art of that time.

Subsequently designer formulated 2 images - the image of human anatomy from the Middle Ages and the image of the human anatomy from the Renaissance. Mostly being influenced by Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical illustrations and the ancient medieval drawings of the unknown masters, designers aimed to show the transition from the hidden and unexplored image of the human body structure to the detailed scientific accurate interpretation.

Passion for human anatomy always was present during the designer's studies at the Academy of A.L. Stieglitz.
