“Elite, Luxury, Success” Nikita Gruzovik x Flakonkishochi Stephanie AndersonDecember 3, 20130 viewsdesignFashionStyle0 Comments0 views With school, college, work or travel demanding an equivalent to a small elephant being carried around in your bag, there is now a time when not only style is needed, but practicality. The out-of-this world designs on the backpacks have been carefully created by Flakonkishochi (Andrey Kasay), a basket ball player come-artist; with individual talents for making certainly unrepeatable designs, setting the record straight for individualists out there. Not only is the creativity under (or out of) control, but the day to day durability has been catered for also, with each bag having a leather lined bottom to add stability, but also a new texture for the two to play with. Beginning in 2013 in Russia, the unisex capsule collection given the name “Elite, Luxury, Success”, has already found its niche, with the market in desperate need of practical backpacks that the world is more than happy to see. The sort of drawings that would meet the eye would be a wolf howling, a man in a leotard doing squats on a water butt… and the list goes on; but with all the bags beholding unarguably characteristic designs. The company, along with a stance away from the mainstream industry, also has insane allegations on the making of the bags, with rumours of them being paw-made by the dogs specially caught on the streets of Moscow; but if you can’t be sure about anything else, then be sure that this collection is definitely worth taking a look at. So if your back is mad at you for leaving all the weight upon one shoulder, and you haven’t been daring enough to dip into backpack-mania before, never has the time been more welcoming to newcomers of conventional item-carrying. If you are going to join the other side, you may as well join it in style. Tamara Massey To look at Nikita’s website click here, and to see Flakonkishochi’s portfolio click here.
