Extravagant genuine leather jacket "Chimera", embroidered, small toy bag. Available. Size SM. Price $2800
The girl looks like a character from avant—garde art - a combination of a shaman, an urban witch and the heroine of a surreal film. Her image is built around layered, complex, completely handmade clothes, saturated with symbols, textures and fantastic creatures. She is wearing a leather jacket that resembles both a ritual armor and an art artifact. In its design:
• convex elements and patches similar to biomorphic shapes
• decorative "spikes" and "feathers"
• dark, pink and nude shades that create the effect of "living" fabrics
• on the shoulder and chest there are three—dimensional motifs similar to eyes, amulets, organic clusters
• There are large bright elements on the back, similar to an organic cross or the mark of an ancient creature.
• a lot of hanging decorative cords, feathers, metal parts
• at the belt there is a figured leather element in the form of a snake, resembling a ritual talisman
• in his hands is a small fantastic doll—like creature in the style of dark mythology
The trousers are also artistically recycled, partially aged, and consist of textures resembling stone, wood, charred surfaces, and organic matter. The image intentionally looks like it came from another world — a world where clothes are not a fashion, but a magical tool. This is a clothing concept, not a household one, but a stage, ritual, and gallery one. Regardless of the profession, the style speaks to a strong inner creative nature. Any city where art, experiment and courage are the norm. The girl looks like the heroine of an avant-garde fantasy world — a mix of an urban witch, an artist and a participant in a ritual performance. Her leather jacket has been transformed into an art artifact: organic shapes, symbolic patches, totem eyes, a snake element on her belt and a bizarre doll-like creature create the feeling of a living, magical costume. The style is art couture with elements of dark fantasy, shamanism and punk avant—garde. This is the image of a person who lives among art and creates it himself: a designer, a performer or an artist. In terms of energy and aesthetics, it seems to belong to a large city with a developed creative scene — a place where imagination and individuality are valued above the usual norms.

The women's leather jacket "Chimera", created by fashion designer Sofalee in the Moscow atelier "PR", belongs to a world reminiscent of the shadows of childhood nightmares — a space filled with strange creatures, symbols and images that seem to be trying to communicate something to the viewer. This is a territory of complete freedom of imagination, surprises and artistic solutions, not limited by the usual framework. In biology, a chimera is an organism consisting of genetically heterogeneous cells. In Sofalee's interpretation, a Chimera is a personality made up of many thought forms and subpersonalities, unpredictable in actions and perception. The jacket-painting "Chimera" becomes a kind of parody of a man living in his own fictional world and unable to realize the surrounding reality. However, for the artist, this is not a tragedy at all. On the contrary: the fantasy world and the real world are equal, because, in her opinion, reality itself is just one of the forms of delusion.The back of the jacket depicts the chimera itself, a snake—like creature with a bird's beak, wings, and a human hand at the end of its tail. It lies under a tree with a brown base and a pink trunk resembling a cross against the background of a full moon. In the crowns and at the roots of the tree there are white oval "eggs" — the future offspring that the monster keeps. Blood drips from the roots onto the moon, hinting that this tree is alive, but contradicts the laws of nature. In the front, at the bottom left, there is a removable phone pocket in the form of a Chupacabra monster doll, a toothy, shaggy creature with a trunk and clawed limbs. This doll constantly accompanies the owner, setting the mood and inevitably arousing the interest of passers-by. On the left shoulder, in the upper part of the composition, ants "shoot off" acid from the arctic foxes surrounding them; together with the black fruits, these elements form the shape of a giant flower. On the trunk of a dark tree is a face with expressed emotions. On the left sleeve, at the roots of another tree, there is a picture of an opossum with an Egyptian cross around its neck. Nearby is a four—armed yogi in the lotus position. On the right hand there is a nest surrounded by bird skulls and leaves with inedible berries. In the center is a symbol that cannot be named. The front part of the jacket "blooms" with black flowers and the same leaves. On the surface, you can see eyes "looking from the inside" — a hint that only one "I" does not always live inside a person. Pink skin is used in places, resembling a naked body and blood — a symbol of pain, vulnerability and inner drama. From the point of view of everyday life, all this may seem like nonsense, grotesque, an obsessive dream. But it is in this world that the artist invites you to place your body. The Chimera jacket is not just clothes: this is a form of a state of mind, a shadow of madness, which the author considers to be one of the possible truths. Sofalee also addresses the social issue.: She urges people to abandon unification. Everyone's faces are different — why should the clothes be the same? The artist suggests boldly creating your own visual language, even if the result turns out to be a "chimera". Form your "I" consciously, lovingly and carefully — through clothes that match your true inner image.
