Odyssey through the future of fashion
In a world where fashion constantly shifts between fleeting trends and genuine expression, Maria Chany is creating her own realm. Her collections go beyond clothing, offering a vision of a society where aesthetics and innovation coexist. As a designer committed to thoughtful fashion, she pushes the boundaries of
creativity and sustainability, blending art, science, and functionality.
Her latest collection, “ELYSIUM”, demonstrates how waste can transform into a valuable resource and how the past serves as inspiration for the future. Dresses, jackets, and outerwear are made from recycled materials such as old tires, surplus fabrics, and biomaterials derived from nuts. Each piece carries a futuristic signature, combining precise cuts, geometric shapes, and fluid draping, achieving a balance between technology and nature. Corsets and belts, made from rubber tubing, reveal that what was once considered waste can now become a form of artistic expression. This approach goes beyond visual appeal, delivering a strong message about ecological responsibility and the redefined value of materials.
Maria Chany creates garments that provoke discussion about mass production and consumer society, offering an alternative that merges sophistication with longevity. Each piece shapes the wearer’s identity through time, untouched by transient trends.

Her critical view of social currents and a desire for change run through every facet of her work. Through handcrafted production, specialized techniques for processing materials, and the use of innovative, ecofriendly resources, Maria creates pieces that erase the boundaries between functionality and artistry, industry and craftsmanship, past and future.

Every design can be seen as a sculpture in motion, a story inspired by both dystopian and utopian visions of society. Her work draws on influences from architecture, technology, and futuristic design, while each model remains attuned to the human body and daily life.
Maria Chany brings fresh energy to the fashion world, rejecting established norms and forging her own path. The “ELYSIUM” collection serves as a platform to think about a future where art and sustainability are inseparable. While many concepts quickly become outdated, her models remain relevant and communicate a clear message: fashion is the fusion of artistic expression and revolution.
