Stavreva Kreator @ Amsterdam Fashion Week

Klaudia Stavreva presented her collection at the 27th edition of Amsterdam Fashion Week called 'BOSSTVRVA Teil II'. It was all about Boss Ladies, inspired by the Sworn Virgins of Albania (burrnesha or virgjnesha), women who assume the life and rights of a man, vowing not to marry or to have children

Stavreva recalled cross-dressing with her sister as teenagers, wearing the ‘Boss’ suits, their Macedonian father wore in the nineties. Thrilled by this concept of 'power dressing Inverté' she created her latest collection.

The designs are rough, raw and with embellished layers and she used traditional techniques as decoration. High-waisted trousers, broad shoulders, uniform pieces and eccentric material combinations are just a few words to describe Stavreva's collection.
