Ninela Ivanova





Ivanova’s “Moulded Minds” collection is a far cry from your typical science-fair entry, however. Inspired by Dmitry Vassilev’s 2009 documentary about humans and fungi, the garments question our notions of beauty and decay. “Mold is extraordinary,” Ivanova tells Ecouterre. “It thrives when nothing else can grow. It prospered in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster and even grows on the outside of spaceships.”


I thought this designer might be helpful as we were looking at the mould on the red bricks. She experiments and uses actual mould to create her garments. Shes turned mould into something wearable and beautiful.
