About the creator

Russian independent designer and photographer Andrey Moss creates through a distinctive anatomical approach inspired by women, art, religion.. and explores the dark side of culture, employs a deft process of fabric analysis and personally sourced materials to create something entirely unique. His creations are a departure from any major fashion brand, rejecting beauty in the mainstream sense for something much more primal — a kind of second skin. Moss’s designs may seem macabre, but his exquisite relation of texture to form produces a beauty all its own. Through his creations, Moss reclaims damning constructions of woman to produce carefully crafted pieces that empower in the process. They are redolent of centuries past, yet their exceptional style makes them distinctly modern, they express the impermanence of the human experience through an artist's eyes..

The Appearance of the Goddess..

"My company was charming. Opposite me by the massive Renaissance fireplace sat Venus; she was not a casual woman of the half-world, who under this pseudonym wages war against the enemy sex, like Mademoiselle Cleopatra, but the real, true goddess of love. She sat in an armchair and had kindled a crackling fire, whose reflection ran in red flames over her pale face with its white eyes, and from time to time over her feet when she sought to warm them. Her head was wonderful in spite of the dead stony eyes; it was all I could see of her. She had wrapped her marble-like body in a huge fur, and rolled herself up trembling like a cat."
- Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

Silhouettes on papers..

Drawing is an integral part of my work, but at the same time it does not carry an important or defining technical part. A sketch is important to capture an idea and fix it physically. I start each of my projects by transferring the image in my head to paper, and after I attach it to the wall above my desk, I have no way back. I don't create a classic moodboard because I get my inspiration from books, so I look at this drawing on the wall and at the book left next to it every day to keep myself in the right mood. All these images exist only in my head, so in a way the end result is a surprise to me. So far, my gut has never failed me and I still give free rein to my hands.. Someone does not consider sketches an important component of the work, in a sense, today this approach is an atavism. But as I have said many times, my primary task is to create an artistic image that every detail obeys, and I recreate these details.. 

The Golden Hour..

Everyone should have a place where you are not just safe and not just can be alone with yourself, but a place where you can hear your own inner voice and find peace. Your own sanctuary.. Every day I am looking forward to the moment when the sun goes down and illuminates my country studio with its golden rays. This is a place where I don't just work or read, but recharge my "batteries". A place where I am completely cut off from civilization. Every year I wait for the endless winter gloom to finally go away and I can come back here. Come back to devote myself to the garden, warmth and birdsong. Every year, these moments only become more fleeting and therefore even more valuable..
