Being able to escape from the forced isolation, I would probably be catapulted directly into the head of Constantin Prozorov.
Fashion artist and Instagram influencer, the designer is able to create unknown worlds, totally the result of his imagination.
His works are a mix of high fashion, fantasy, art and pop culture with a fascinating aspect.
After graduating with a degree in fashion and communication design from the School of Fashion in Munich, Constantin worked for some time with Condè Nast in Paris, as editorial support in the publication of several issues of Vogue, Glamour, Elle, and Myself.
He was later assistant designer for Joop! Berlin luxury brand, and then created its own agency specialized in creating digital content for high fashion brands.
Still, his profile is among those of SCHIERKE artists, an agency that manages talents since 1983.
The collaborations with the brands are many and all lead us elsewhere, in a dreamlike world, revisited in a contemporary key: exclusive clothes, cities deserted and super colorful, imaginary characters, magicians, witches, and castles.
One of his latest “bizarre” creations is a series of collages and animations for #MONCLERGENIUS by Richard Quinn.
The garments are immersed in a fantasy world where the landscape, which can be the jungle or the Antarctic, is inhabited by wild animals, sometimes tigers with wings, sometimes polar bears with the mantle that takes the prints of the duvets.
The sky is apocalyptic, full of stars and cut with violence by incandescent meteorites.
The result is poetic.
Also striking are some animations made for Gucci.
Remember the Fall Winter 2018, when Alessandro Michele had models parade in a fake operating room holding small dragons and severed heads?
Prozorov wanted to revive that atmosphere, only that these images are further emphasized by the background: a gothic castle with a huge dragon that spits fire.
A little Gucci, a little Game of Thrones.

For the Valentino diary, then, the models become witches, like those in the TV series Netflix Sabrina, and with a spell they exchange the dress.
Very ironic, on the other hand, is the series ‘Fashion meets art’, where the protagonists of famous paintings dress haute couture.
In Adam and Eve by Albrechtduerer, Eva wears a dress from the SS18 Armani Haute couture, the Venus of Bouguereau wears a Giambattista Valli, the woman with the ermine of Da Vinci comes to life and caresses a shoe of Gucci!

It’s a bit like fashion for this artist should be lifted from the earthly world, becoming a religion!
The reality is imperfect, it is not the magic of fashion shows or art exhibitions, design and haute couture instead touch utopian imaginations.
So, why not place them in the surreal? Where Karl Lagerfield, on the moon, among robots, aliens and enchanted castles, has never stopped drawing and, where everything is possible?
