ICUL CTION meets ART A C o n t e m p o r a r y A r t R e v i e w Ildiko Sopronfalvi Since 2017, Ildiko Sopronfalvi, the photographer, has been engaged in professional fashion- and portrait photography. The Hungarian artist studied photo design in Germany, at the Akademie Deutsche Pop in Stuttgart and since then she has published numerous publications and photo series in American and European fashion magazines. According to her own admission, her fashion photos deal more with emotions and social significance, and the photographer also likes to play with colours, contrasts, textiles and forms. Her photo series "Plastic or fashion?" contrasts fashion with our surrounding. Our world is neglected, Mother Earth is overflooded with plastic, garbage, the treasures given by the earth are being lost by humanity, and she exploits everything you can. "Environmental awareness has been a concern for a long time, and I think it's important to pay attention to it. I want to open people's eyes if we pay a little attention, we shop more consciously, both in fashion and in other areas, we could possibly start with an opposite process of being able to prevent humanity from rushing to its demise," the artist said. The material for the exhibition was collected by the photographer for 2 years, and the theme occupies the artist again and again, several new works are currently being created. The emotional world of the images also makes the viewer think. The series has recently appeared in several American fashion magazines, in accordance with fashion rules, with the main elements of animal-patterned creations and plastics as opposed to industrial or forest environments. On the pictures you can see the creations of Alexandra Kalomista-Könczöl. With this, the designer of the futuristic fashion brand "Nagea" wants to pay attention to the importance of environmental protection. The models show a collection of clothes made of plastic bags, which were set with green plants on the contrary. With the creations of the fashion designer, he wants to send a message not only to buyers, but also to other designers: "Today, a fashion designer can not only be responsible for self-serving design and more profit orientation. We have to take responsibility, lead by example, look for innovation because there is overproduction in the clothing industry, and we produce too many garments."
