Proposing a modern interpretation of the style, gender, and dress, Anton Belinskiy is a young visionary designer who is keen on creating an avant-garde, but really wearable clothes. It subverts the complacency of prettiness and celebrates the discipline of the perverse. His major sources of inspiration are sportswear, contemporary street wear and Ukrainian cultural traditions, which he carefully explored throughout his trips to the country’s regions and other places worldwide. Focuses on quiet individualism and refined forms, his unique design aesthetic offers a modern interpretation of masculinity and femininity by creating thought-provoking silhouettes through a conscious cross-pollination between menswear and womenswear elements, using supernatural colors and rebellious youth spirit through the strange fabric of modern times. Moreover, Anton considers that the cornerstone of his inspiration are people themselves. For him, there is no such thing as trends; he does not believe in fashion at times, as some people tend to portray it too commercially. On one hand, he uses natural fabrics, such as cotton and silk. On the other, he pays a vast share of attention to hi-tech materials like taking and woven leather. One of his strongest sides is said to be the combination of fabrics and textures; regarding forms: the importance of proportions. He is already well-known for his oversized silhouettes and color-blocking. Anton Belinskiy designs have already been featured in some International magazines and online editorials, such as Vogues , Dazeddigital, i-D, 032.c, Wonderland, Fu***ng Young!, T MAGAZINE, New York Times, THE CUT, W MAGAZINE, THE WILD, NYLON, WWD, MTV.COM, Bullett Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar , i-D, L’Officiel, Vice, Elle, Glamour, POP Magazine, BURO24/7, Nowfashion.com, etc. Anton Belinskiy list of retailers includes more than 15 stores around the world.
