2011 Designer Showcase/Interview with soraya Vaher

I am starting off 2011 with an interview with designer extraordinaire soraya Vaher, owner and designer of Violator. Words to describe her, Daring, Trendsetter, Mysterious. Below is a brief conversation that I had with soraya.

Perla :  When I step into your store its exhilarating. I think goth, avant garde, surreal, haute couture,erotic, forbidden and more.

I must say when i saw the My Fetish piece of jewelry some naughty thoughts went threw my mind. Perfect piece of jewelry for me. laughs

What was your inspiration for Lady of the Wolves? I see that as an outfit that an Alpha lycan queen to wear when she is commanding her pack. ( I do a lot of role play on combat sims as a lycan/vampire hybrid)

soraya:  In my mind she is the lady who submits and commands the beast, you can see it as metaphor. The beast can be herself or something different from herself.


The grace of the flower hat (especially the red version) reminds me far reminiscences of old fairy tales like "Little Red Riding Hood". the hat could be interpreted as both: a graceful flower hood and on the contrary an avant interpretation of a wolf`s fur as well.

The composed elegance of the dress, the simplicity of the texture, the hat´s veils surrounding the face giving depth and relevance to the face and the mysterious look make this lady enigmatic, and avantgarde but at the same time mythical, mystical monastic and powerful.
Whet ever she may be a dark wolf or a beauty hidden in the forest ... she just commands

Perla:  .Do you have a favorite piece of work?

soraya: I have some favorites but the preference changes with the time.

After all my creations are all part of me representing different aspects of my own personality.

Perla: Describe your style in a few words and what comes to mind when you create your clothing.

soraya:  Haute Couture, symbiotic, hybrid, elegant, decadent, abrupt

That depends... sometimes violence, sometimes pain, sometimes just an echo of a dream I have done, sometimes a reminiscence of a movie or a book i enjoyed, sometimes a mood.
Sometimes a new direction i want to take and reinterpret to be unique. There is a basic elegance in my thoughts. When i create something.. it must be elegant, it must be haute, it must be unique and somehow eclectic.

Perla: Do you have any shows coming up soon?

soraya: Surprise...
Perla:  Okay a couple of random questions about soraya.

What is your favorite color? Favorite food?

soraya:  black/ prosciutto crudo di Parma
Perla:  Who is your favorite RL designer?

soraya:  Versace of the 90´s and Jean Paul Gaultier
Perla:  Are you in love? smiles
 
soraya:  Yes, with myself!
