The W2 Store @w2_store has recently turned into a Thracian burial ground. Whilst browsing @commedesgarcons @noproblemo and other male clothing, you might find female armoury from the future or perhaps the near present. The armoury fits like a glove and grows out of its original body shell into a modular and rather defensive extension, fertile with golden water and pure Bulgarian rose oil. My collab with @theserpentcircle reinterprets funerary symbolism, personal adornment and defensive armour to imagine the ritual burial of a contemporary, or perhaps future Thracian woman through a dystopian and surrealist lens. 

The work emerged after Jonny’s @can.jc invite to present work in the male clothing store and I wondered how I could insert the female presence/body in this explicitly male space where the masculine aesthetic gets projected and focused on, sometimes through the lens of female desire. I felt that Slava’s work interprets this enquiry in such a brilliant way. And so our collab began with journeys in the Rose Valley, her birthplace, we picked roses in the early mornings in May and visited many many tombs, some UNESCO protected due to the spectacular amount of archeological remains mostly found by the outstanding archeologist Georgi Kitov and we thought about this other predominantly male space … the tomb … exquisite burial sights celebrating a royal man’s afterlife via armoury, symbolical jewellery, swords, the speculative belongings of one’s afterlife … and we thought … where are the notable women’s tombs and what She would’ve brought with her back then? And so we made the project …
