Soraya Vaher is one of the most
influential fashion avant garde designers of our time on SL. She tell to
us in this interview about her beginnings and her sl style and what the
future holds for her. Enjoy it !!
I am reflected in all my creations, with all my contradictions....and moods... Soraya Vaher
When and how did you start?
SV : We started end of 2008, with full power then at the beginning of 2009
How could you define your style?
SV
: Hybrid, Eclectic, Haute Couture, High Elegance all of that describes
it very well. yet avant gardism should be added. but none of that is
usually the result by an intention. its the result of the designing if i
interprete certain roles i would like to be in. i always see me high
elegant so thats a common pattern. the different aspects and
transformations of my associations results then automatically in a lot
of eclecticism, hybrid style, because I dont like to design for a
special category. thats not my inspiration to design. I imagine me or
another one in a certain situation, role, theme and design then how i
would like to be or wanting see that person ...
What did your first designs look like and how did they evolve?
SV
: My first design was very cyber haute couture. the next designs have
not necessarily to be seen as evolvement but more as diversity of
realized different aspects I also liked to do ...
When you create something, what goes through your mind?
SV
: Sometimes sad things, sometimes violent things, a very few times joy.
All kind of moods and associatons. personal stuff, all kind of aspects
connected with that from literature, movies, theatre, operas or personal
experienced situations. sometimes i am inspirated by a material and
design then how i would like to look with a gown made out of that,
almost always connected to a certain role in an imagined scenery.
What differentiates you from other designers?
SV
: There are many different designers out there so I would describe more
a tendency to most of them which is not necessarily true for every
single case or aspect. we, Minx and me we are tendencially much more
autonom, independent and innovative. the reason is not that we had
intentionally such aspects as main goal. its more a synergetic effect
how we are and what comes out then as result. me as well as Minx are
pretty much inter categorical for example. I do not design with the
background of that it is similar to that what people used to have. i do
not create for example a typical cyber gown but also not a typical
"cyber gown which has to be different". i just create my own
interpretation of how a cyber gown should like. this means somethimes it
is less cyber then.as first goal. it is more a synergetic effect of
different other aspects. one is for example that we design combine much
more all kind of aspects and styles to haute couture. the reason is not
that this is our goal. it is more a synergetic effect of how i creat but
not as goal. its a synergetic effect of other intentions. if i design
for example
In our entire doing. the reason is that this is not our
goal but a side effect out of how we are also in rl. we are for example
very intercategorical which means that we do neighter fit into a typical
artistic category nor into a typical formal couture nor in a typical
others what must not be necessarily true for every single case. in
relation we are much more innovative, inter categorical and independent.
you had for example already before we came out artistic gowns. We are
highly innovative and autonom. we are that because we dont serve certain
categories. I never had for example the intention to do something
artistic. thats a side effect. the intention is not to create something
any individual one. Tendencially we are highly innovative and inter
categoral and introduced a lot of diversity into haute couture. You can
see that general: our store is not like other stores. it serves not a
typical category or variation of that.
What inspires you? What is your idea on beauty?
SV
: Myself! ;D a parte from that, what is highly feminine, extremely
strong but at the same time somehow corruptable and hurtable.
What made you choose Fashion?
SV : Inner Passion and desire to dress exactly what i wanted to dress.
What has been the best moment of your Fashion career so far?
SV
: There is no special one, I would say all since the beginning up to
now. You can get very conceptual, almost like in another dimension…
….So,
what is next for you Soraya? im going to ask something you could
perhaps answer in few words. Is it okay to say that your work is, or
your ideas on dresses are, the possible visualization of the impossible?
SV
: yes and no. my focus is more that i like to use the flexibility of
the envonment to make things possible i know it can be possible ...
How would you describe the woman who wears VIOLATOR ?
SV
: Woman and man. there is the remarkable tendency that our customers
are themself are creatives, experienced and long time sl users ...
tendencially non conformists without anti attitudes being conform.
people with a real own taste and playful perspective ... a fable for
design ...
Describe in some words - the values of the brand ‘’VIOLATOR’’.
SV
: Violator represents real designer gowns on the highest level. And due
to this it keeps true also compared to any offline/rl brand or any
other media. If you wear Violator you wear indeed generally a real
designer gown.
What are your plans for the near future? Should we expect a new collection or more releases coming?
SV : i would say: yes!
Finally, do you have any fashion advice or styling tips you could give to our readers?
SV
: Fashion (like many things) represent often a certain identication
code, a kind of desire, imagination - a role you want play. what about
trying to play another role especially one you would never consider that
it might be you. maybe something you would usually never try out? raise
your perspectives and you might see more - also about yourself.
