“Impulse embodied in objects sets in motion the imagination, which in turn makes it possible to get in touch with the beginning and feel the primary motive. Continuity does not give rise to cyclicality, but opens up new things without breaking the tradition.“

Designer Konstantin Kofta is back with his new collection of hi-end leather bags INERTIA SS20. As stated by his studio - “We want to allow the viewer to gain different perspective on familiar things through synergizing with our artwork. Our bags serve as a canvas for expressing our creative intentions through properties that they did not initially possess, endowing them with ability to bring aesthetic pleasure, while maintaining functionality.”

RHX11 Human Storage System by Konstantin Kofta

March 27, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Fashion, Ukraine, Portfolios, 2017

Kofta is no ordinary bag designer. His backpacks resemble works of art rather than the emphatically practical and minimalist pieces. This is a melange of imagery, containing raw thoughts, tameless animals, deep forests, abandoned buildings and ancient architecture.

“Humankind is not the first and not the last intelligent race on earth. Erenow, blue blood was flowing in the veins of living creatures. Blood is nothing but a liquid metal. Accomplished technology is indistinguishable from the magic. Mankind has transformed himself and knowledge into artificial intelligence. Existence becomes smarter and faster, it achieves an ability to adapt for radical global changes. The Era of Mankind is coming to its end.”

— Kofta

Konstantin Kofta created his own label, Kofta which combines seemingly contradictory elements outside the traditional canons of the fashion industry. His garments are sensual, effortlessly elegant, practical and wearable. Kofta uses rough skin, irregular shapes and unique scents to create a totally new vision of the attire as a whole. Designer Konstantin Kofta combines rural and urban perceptions, and embraces the unintentional and unexpected, which provide inspiration for current and future collections. Each collection appears as a form of art installation.
