That is the way the designer Mariela Gemisheva characterized her latest collection. She displayed it on the last day of May at the Archaeological Museum in Sofia to an audience of experts in the sphere of arts and culture, to admirers of her art, to architects, entrepreneurs, the political and business elite forming the milieu of Roca Club.

For four years running Roca Bulgaria sponsors a talented Bulgarian artist to recreate the philosophy of the company, which seeks an analogue to the cold interior design of bathrooms in fashion. A fashion, animated by the comfort of luxury and the warmth of water. Thus was born the latest collection of the lecturer at the Arts Academy, which she entitled “Contemplation in Blue. Luxury in Motion and Repose” and presented in the style of her favorite artistic performances.

There is something emblematic in Mariela Gemisheva’s relationship with two of the main natural elements – fire and water. Just a few years ago, she sacrificed her 7-year-long work to the stake at the fire station, suggesting the idea of the purifying power of fire and the renewal of her own creative plans. This time water filled the ether of her own selection of fabrics. The plush, absorbing and reflecting the light, constantly changing, seemed to flow. The organza – a symbol of luxury and the deceptive repose of the water froth. The glossy and liltingly rustling taffeta, which complements the harmony between man and stone. The models stood out even more vividly against the background of the cold stone excavations in the museum and cast gleams of warmth and coziness. They seemed to highlight how transient and fragile we are, yet what we create outlives us and leaves a trace in time long after we are gone – probably not only in the stone.
