When people work together, the possibilities are endless. 

This group of nine designers collaborated together, some creating avatars while others made clothes and animations. Their hard work was not in vain, as their work won the NFT Star Award at the 2021 Monte-Carlo Digital Fashion Challenge.

 After each designer, who had previously designed physical clothing, found their way to the 3D industry and digital fashion design, they took a class at the 3D Couture School taught by Maria Shevchenko. Here, they met through the school’s online chat and developed a strong relationship that transcended their lack of the physical. In fact, they have never seen each other in real life. One student, Kreamonz, invited her colleagues to work together to create a collection and show it at fashion weeks. She put together a mood board, thought through the concept, drew sketches, and made a presentation. Many of her colleagues decided to participate in the project. They worked together for three months to create this collection, and all of their hard work paid off. 

Kreamonz is a fashion designer of digital and physical clothes as well as a designer of avatars. She studied design at the Bogolyubov Art College and fashion design at the University of Technology and Design. She first worked as a designer of children’s and women’s clothing in large mass-market brands. After, she started studying 3D clothes and creating avatars, as well as learning a lot of 3D programs. Additionally, she worked with various small global brands by helping them with digital and physical clothes and creating avatars and animated videos. She has given lectures at the Fashion Factory School. She has shown her collections at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and Kyiv Fashion Week. Her work has been published in L Officiel and Harper’s Bazaar magazines. Follow her on Instagram: @kreamonz

Elizabeth Radionova is a fashion designer and 3D visualizer. She was happy to take part in the Monte-Carlo Digital Fashion Challenge as part of a great team led by Kreamonz. She creates clothing patterns and gradation of their sizes in Optitex and Clo3D programs. Also, she makes realistic renderings and animations of clothes using and customizing Daz Studio avatars. She has been working for many years and now continues with physical children’s and women’s clothing, tailoring corsets, and wedding and evening dresses. But, she also really enjoys making 3D clothes. Her skills in 3D construction help her not only in creating digital images, but also in creating physical clothes. She believes this is the future. Follow her on Instagram: @studio__elizabeth

 Tatyana Rzhaksinskaya has worked in a bank as a loan officer. After her dismissal, she decided that she would do her favorite thing: knitting to order. She was looking for an opportunity to improve communication with the client and to make communication more productive. This was how she first thought about 3D clothing. After graduating from 3D Couture school, the new opportunities took her breath away. Now, she is doing visualization and animation of clothes for clients.

Tatyana Buzan is a 3D fashion designer from Kyiv. She is a banker by education, but creativity has been with her since childhood. After she left a boring and uninteresting job in a bank, she completed 3D fashion design courses and switched to freelancing completely. Now she has an interesting job, a lot of creative colleagues, and the opportunity to develop in the 3D sphere. Despite this, she still dreams of having more than twenty-four hours a day to do everything she has planned. Follow her on Instagram: @tatiana.buzan_3d.design
