Wok is well known in Milan as one of the most interesting shop to visit and where to buy upcoming fashion designers pieces. Known especially for a meticulously gorgeous selection of international designers, this shop has plenty of names that would shock any old fashion store in Italy, where the customers could not afford even a piece because they would not understand the style. Wok chooses and Wok proposes. Allthough the list of designers could go on, we want to talk about the presentation of the Bulgarian designer Vladimir Karaleev actually based in Berlin. The title Pro Forma“ – as a matter of form – expresses this collection’s formal autonomy. The design of the very pieces is neither functional, nor decorative.
Structures differ from the body shape and avoid to emphasize it. They are used to be defined as antiforma. The title is a “Pro Forma” in itself, endowing the pieces with a verbal framework. Lovely and stylish collection!
