Participant collection of New York Fashion Week'21 and silver prize winner of the MUSE Design Award 2022 international design competition UNIVERSUM is inspired by the romanticism of space travel and is dedicated to the perseverance and incredible ingenuity of man in the search for truth. We tried to reflect the transition in the vision of ancient astronomers and philosophers to the modern achievements of cosmonautics and astronomy, showing how much the understanding of the structure of the world around us has changed.
The geocentric system of the world was taken as the basis of the concept, which reflects the ancients' idea of the universe. One of the earliest images of a star map that has come down to us, representing the geocentric system of the world, is a manuscript dated to the 9th century.
The stylization of this map was reflected in the design of the dial on its left side, being a symbol of the image of the space at that time. On the right side of the dial, the same celestial bodies are displayed as on the ancient stellar map, but in the correct sequence of their location in the solar system, thereby symbolizing today's understanding of the structure of the Universe as a whole.
All inscriptions on the left side of the dial are made in Latin in accordance with the ancient source. In contrast, on the right side, English is used, which is the modern incarnation of Latin. Thus, a symbolic transition from one era to another was displayed.
