AUB FBC Class of 2023 - what can I say?
You are the people that wouldn’t let a pandemic get in the way of you coming to university in 2020! You are tenacious and brave, and it has been my absolute pleasure getting to know you better in this past year of your journey. What an incredible privilege it has been to work alongside such talented creatives. You have blown us away and you will smash it in industry. Don’t ever underestimate just how amazingly gifted you are. Your ideas and creations are reflective of young talent that has a finger on the pulse of fashion branding and communication - you are the future of fashion, and you are future bosses. I am convinced that you will make positive changes to industry and consumerism through your thoughtful and thought-provoking work.
University work aside, you are all beautiful human beings inside and out, and you make every working day fun and challenging (in all the right ways!). Some of you are loud, some of you are quiet, but all of you have such an important viewpoint to bring to the table – keep challenging, creating, making, talking, laughing and keep being you. Congratulations AUB FBC Class of 2023 – enjoy graduation and embrace the next adventure you are taking. Stay in touch. We can’t wait to see what you do next.

‘Orange Peel’
Orange Peel is a publication with one goal... to put a smile on the readers face. It is designed to provide a sense of joy through positive content. Issue 1 is an accumulation of a variety of artistic forms, including photography, illustration, painting, screen prints, poems, and interviews. These transform the publication into a collectable work of art in its own right that provides the reader with an uplifting experience.
I believe in making content that will have a benefit to people. This ethos is the key to my design approach. I think the focus on ‘beauty’ that has dominated the fashion industry for years should be reframed into valuing the person and the message behind it rather than simply being an aesthetic. I believe this shift will benefit mental wellbeing as what people consume will hold greater meaning.

Biolife aims to rebrand the packaging industry and turn it on it’s head. In 2020 the UK alone generated 43.9 million tonnes of commercial and industrial waste, Biolife is a call for action for biodegradability within the packaging market. The ‘Biolife’ rebrand will feature a complete new and unique concept for Stella McCartney and their eco brand
Biolife focuses around using biomaterials and their DNA (i.e mushrooms and kombucha) to grow packaging. Replacing traditional packaging seen by Stella McCartney, this concept will make each piece packaging completely biodegradable and unique. Meaning that once a consumer is finished with their package, the worry of polluting landfills will be a thought of the past.

The aim for this project brief is to become my own campaigner, campaigning on social media against brands such as Victoria’s Secret who currently stand with a negative fake narrative against body image for women, re-creating one of Victoria’s secrets campaigns on social media in a new and positive way, showing how it should’ve been done in comparison and calling out the brand for their lack of diversity.
Victoria’s Secret as a lingerie brand has focused mainly on perfect model types with no imperfections, curves, shape, and ethnicities because of this they have lost customers and social media atmosphere as women of all shapes, sizes and colour don’t feel they belong within the brand, which is exactly what needs to change, which is where I come in as a campaigner calling it how it is.

Introducing ‘the girlhood’ - an online wellness organisation that provides resources for young women experiencing puberty.
It is a response to the lack of education in the school curriculum and resources out there for young women, as well as the taboo mindset that has been integrated into society on the topics of female puberty.
As part of this launch, I introduced an experiential care package, offering essential products supporting female adolescence featuring an informative guide on effectively using each one. This package offers consumers easy access to a product that aims to avoid an influx of manipulated information and focuses on creating a positive platform with highly regarded products to make these first experiences less overwhelming.
As an accompanying feature of my FMP care package, I created an app with the purpose of being a safe platform for women to gain access to information and provide a sense of community.

The fashion industry faces a variety of social, cultural, ethical, and sustainable issues and I set out to try and answer these through emerging technologies by combining physical and digital fashion, making Nimby Phygital. Consumers can filter their clothes by sustainable fabrics whilst learning about their properties and sustainable footprint. Then they input their measurements and can try the garment on digitally in the Nimby Realm- seeing how the garment behaves on their body.

OVA Collective is a gender-neutral streetwear brand, produced sustainably. My love for streetwear, impacted with personal problems with the fit and make of streetwear clothing has led me to put my own spin - with varied, non-traditional sizing - and create a brand that will change the game.
The name comes from the last three letters of my surname – Bozhinova – combined with ‘collective’. I took on the role of owner and Creative Director of OVA Collective to curate majority aspects such as the branding, packaging, and marketing of this brand. Taking on these roles, I’ve had to think out of the box, compare and get other’s opinions to produce the best possible outcome.
Jandali is a social campaign celebrating and appreciating Arab culture. It is a welcoming space bringing traditions and customs into the spotlight to be seen and revalued. The campaign is a creative reinterpretation of Arab culture, where we can get rid of misinterpretations, obsolete ideas, and any negative image there is of Arabs and the culture.
The aim is to shine a light on Arab culture to inspire the Western world and embed our traditions through a contemporary exploration whether it is traditional wear or lifestyle. As an international student living abroad, I noticed how some people were trying to hide away their culture, so this campaign will encourage them to be proud of their distinguished cultural heritage and bring them into the spotlight with a refreshed view.
‘Meander’
In my work, I strive to cultivate a perpetual sense of serendipity, igniting moments of unexpected joy and discovery.

Focusing on the nurture of human relationship with nature and urban culture, I strive to captivate and invite the audience to become more intentional with their experiences.
To see the world with fresh eyes, seeking out the extraordinary within the ordinary and cultivating a deeper connection with ourselves and surroundings.
As a creative director and photographer, my plan is to rebrand Replica by Maison Margiela through the creation of three short narrative film campaigns, each centered around one of their signature scents: Matcha Meditation, Beach Walk, and Coffee Break. The overarching theme of these campaigns will be the connection between scent and identity, emphasising how these fragrances contribute to shaping individuals' experiences and sense of self.
These films will align with Maison Margiela’s brand values of innovation, artistry, and unconventional storytelling. They will bring the concept-driven nature of Replica fragrances to life through captivating visuals, evocative narratives, and an emphasis on individual experiences and memories, whilst giving a nod to the experimental and deconstructive identity of the fashion house.
The brand identity of Replica by Maison Margiela is characterised by its conceptual approach, nostalgia, artistic expression, minimalist packaging, unconventional scent combinations, community engagement, and a commitment to innovation and authenticity. These elements come together to create a brand that resonates with individuals seeking fragrances that go beyond traditional notions and connect with personal experiences and identities.
