Although Vladimir Karaleev was born 1981 in Sofia, Bulgaria, at the age of 19 he decided to uproot himself and move to Berlin to study fashion at the University of Applied Sciences.In 2005, Vladimir, launched his own fashion label with a debut collection entitled Cut 210.
His designs are heavily influenced by contemporary art as he experiments with shapes and cuts that, in turn, are influenced by geometric structures.
What is extraordinary about Vladimir is that he is color blind but he has surmounted the odds drawing strength from the colors taht he can see.
What an inspiration for all of us today!
Have a peek here at a select few images from his 2011 autumn/winter collection, which he exhibited at the most recent Merceds Benz Fashion Week in Berlin.
