AT EL I ER
“I am Olya, founder and designer behind Mayhem Atelier, originally Russian-born, now based in Los Angeles. I am creating concepts for 2 lines in Mayhem Atelier: a ready-to-wear meets custom-made line and a bridal one - minimal and elegant wedding gowns.�
25
Tell us where the name of the brand comes from? What does those 2 words “Mayhem Atelier” mean to you?
“Office Of Mayhem Evaluation”, obviously a somewhat translation in English of a weird governmental department. This collocation stroke me as so now-a-days, so strong and unusual, and word I never really tell people when Mayhem as beautiful as any word I first got familiar with word can be. Since then it didn’t change. “Mayhem”, which literally means Mayhem Atelier is what I call [chaos], since not many get it. “Elegant Chaos” - something that Around 3-4 years ago a came pretty much describes what I do across a Chinese sign that said: and how I do it.
26
27
"MAYHEM ATELIER IS WHAT I CALL "ELEGANT CHAOS"
28
MAGAZINE
Are you not afraid of negative associations? At least with English speaking countries. It did stroke me a few times, but no. People are curious about the name, and as soon as they see the clothes - all associations with metal bands become irrelevant.
29
What is your best fashion memory? One of the best ones is - my trip to a post-soviet Russian summer camp for kids, named “Artek� - i was 7 or 8, not sure what to expect at all. Upon arrival there, a lovely young lady tells the kids to leave ALL their belongings in the locker. We were given out 2 sets of uniforms: an everyday one and a ceremonial one. First one was nothing else but a jail toggery, all of those were 3 sizes bigger that I was. The concept behind the institution - all kids should be the same, they can’t show off because of the clothes or families they come from. That is a fashion statement. I had time of my life that summer.
30
What is Barcelona’s influence on your work? It actually all started in Barcelona, the lack of elegance on the streets pushed me to look for alternatives of jeans and t-shirts, trying to find ways of looking sophisticated most days. I do not want to label my collection as casual, but I would like my dresses to inspire girls for everyday small adventures, to feel like they are always ready for one.
31
32
What is the story behind your SS2016 ready-towear collection? I have stories for everything! Back in Barcelona I was getting my BA in Fashion Design, where I failed to perform my graduation collection well (according to my professors), I was told that garments all looked like toiles, prototypes,
unfinished - and I was banned from doing the graduation fashion show. That broke my heart and confused me, since I believed in what i do. So that reflected in my SS2016 collection by using toile inspired fabrics, off-white colors, raw edges, elegant mannequin shapes for dresses, in order to prove - prototypes can also do well.
33
How do you want to make our world better? I will design or produce no tee shirts, or any commercial basics. There are brands out there is the industry that do it way better and way more affordable than i will ever do. Let’s not overproduce or “over-create”.
What kind of woman is your muse? It will certainly be a modern Audrey Hepburn, like she was in her movies: always elegant, always ready for unexpected adventures. I wish girls were more easy-going, exploring more, investing their time in making connections with people, evolve their skills, and be happy.
If you had one wish - what would it be? Going back in time to pre-internet world - I would love to try building a fashion house, like it was in the 50’s or 80’s, without having to worry about updating your social networks.

How did you discover an interest in fashion ship the IED - European Institute of Design in Turin design? Tell us about your creative back- was giving out, and I got it. ground and story as a designer? Attending the IED gave me the chance to grow My passion for fashion didn’t show up immediately. I’m from Southern Italy, where everything and everyone is absolutely down-to-earth. People don’t leave you much space to follow your dreams: you must study, get out of college and get a degree in medicine, so you can have a job and feed your children. What I was longing for was to create brand new worlds which existed only in my mind, and make people part of it. My very first form of evasion has been comics, mainly manga. I was totally attracted by the versatility of the designs and the ability of the artists to escape from reality going through parallel and unusual worlds. My creative experience started right from this point: I loved to see myself as some kind of utopic character and imagine “what would be my life like if I were a huge ladybug-shaped spaceship going around in a hot air balloon?” … or something like that. There was a certain point during my day where I just wanted to forget about the real me, to be sucked up by a black hole and never come back again. Drawing and imagining characters in different contexts also required spending some time on totally unseen costumes and outfits. I found out that was the thing which pleased me the most, making me realize fashion would have been a way more exciting and satisfying path to pursue. So instead of signing up for the Comics faculty in college. I started attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. Honestly speaking, my experience in Naples was not much productive, so I applied for a scholar-
my designer skills in every possible way; from planning to finalizing, going straight to see outfits that I only had in my mind become reality, which I never thought I would have ever got the chance to make it on my own. I collaborated with product companies (as Aschei, Marzotto group) where I learned how to manipulate raw materials and get to appreciate the most intimate side of fashion, which rarely gets the deserved attention.

My goal was to create surfaces which came from common bases but still mutually independent. The primary idea was to stick with the traditional pert-à-porter concept and project it into the contemporary “take away” concept. In my vision of the future fashion is much the IKEA furniture: interactions with the product finalized to customization (eventually following a proper user’s guide). My hoodie is basically just a hoodie, but you can turn it into at least three different kinds of clothes just taking off some of its parts. In order to get to a greater versatility of manipulating these “surfaces” I chose a material which best represented the playful concept of the project : felt. As for plexiglass, it not only keeps up with the idea of the “object fashion”, but also made me figure out how such unusual material in fashion could actually interact with fabric.

What is the meaning of the “Bolt system” Japanese mangas. My goal was to literary build up in your new collection? Will it follow your the body of tomorrow’s people with the attitude of a blacksmith and with the fancy of a fashion designer. subsequent designs? It is hard to believe, and it’s extremely weird… but it came up from something happening to me last year. My bed had some problems with its legs and I found out that one of its bolts had fallen out. Fixing it made me realize what would have been the right approach to the idea I was developing. Once having set down which surfaces were to be used all I had to do was to decide where to allocate the fixtures… what came out of it was just exhilarating. One of my points of interest is how such experimental solutions can actually work with traditional concepts. This will probably be the main topic of my thesis project.
But the most authentic inspiration, which is as well the main concept of this collection, is people inconstancy: we are nothing but machines moved by the time, ready to get rid of superstructures made to survive in this fast and endless seek of the vanity of the moment.

Back in Naples, I worked in a group project for textile class. We came up with this big wearable canvas which reproduced through recycled fabrics the Picasso’s “Guernica”. It surely wasn’t a professional work, but still it has been a great revelation for me: I realized which was the path to pursue and who I would have enjoyed working with.

Tell us a bit about your daily routine. What the biggest fairs about contemporary art in Turin, and it totally should not be missed if you want to underdoes a normal day in your life looks like? I never have a fixed schedule. Sometimes I wake up in the morning without even knowing what it is going to happen. A thing that I got to learn, mostly during these college years, is how to take a hold of the situation, make immediate decisions and act with no regrets. I spend hours searching for new ideas for new projects, and as by now I dedicate most of my time to school, but I never forget about my passion for arts and for emerging design: there will be one of

I have always believed that a designer’s duty, in every possible field, is to inspire and to be inspired. I would prefer being acknowledged to an inspiring idea rather than being known for some important collaboration or to a top-class creative direction.
Which artists, designers or photographers would you like to collaborate with? An artist which always had a charm on me and which I rediscovered lately is Matthew Barney, his sense of aesthetics combined with his creation of timeless worlds would totally be the perfect representation of my projects.

with his way of producing fashion: amazing projects may come to light. Last but not least, a photographer which I would totally work with is Juergen Teller. I sometimes imagine some of my collections being set in his very own styles and ways to approach and deliver concepts.

Tell us a bit about yourself and how did you start making digital art? I have been creating art pretty much my whole life - I started with traditional methods actually. It wasn’t until I went to college that I truly explored digital/ mixed media art. While my output is digital, I still start with the basics. I draw everything with paper and pencil, then use that as a base over which I manipulate and create forms digitally.
What do you want to express with your illustrations? I use my fashion illustrations to showcase the personality and attitude clothing and fabric have. One way I try to accomplish this is by making my figures anonymous. Faces and their expressions sometimes divert attention away from what is truly being communicated in fashion, specifically in fashion illustration.
121
What has been your biggest achievement so far? A couple of years ago, I sold my first ever print of my fashion work. It doesn’t seem like much but that was only two or three months after I went public with my fashion work. It gave me confidence and assured me that I was doing what I was meant to do.
What are some of more difficult aspects of being an illustrator? Right now I think it is getting consistent and reliable work. There are so many incredibly talented young illustrators out there, and platforms where businesses can get good cheap work. It can be hard to make yourself known and build a client base.
How does your cultural environment influence your way of working? I live in New York currently and I think that has influenced me greatly. I am surrounded by a vast creative network that time and time again pushes me to do more - even when I don’t want to. It makes me avoid taking breaks, think of the next move, and never be fearful about sharing what I do and why I do it.
122
123
How do you overcome a creative block? Music and Instagram – however lame that sounds I use instagram as my inspiration platform. I usually follow photographers or creative directors who think about the world differently than me. Music has a way of putting me into a flow state and allows my mind to think freely.
What upcoming projects can we expect to see from you? I am working through some new ways of integrating other media styles, and collaborating with some other cool creatives. J Everyone will just have to wait and see.
Who would you most like to collaborate with from within the visual arts and fashion spheres? I would love to work with Free People or Johnston Murphy and do some marketing material for them. I’d also love to do some collaborative with Eye Candy Berlin.
