Romanian designer Carmen Emanuela Popa will present on March 3, at the Russian Science and Culture Centre in Bucharest, a series of conceptual fashion items that are part of prestigious collections presented on international podiums at events such as the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Russia or the Athens Xclusive Designers Week. Items from the Woman N, Contemporary Unknown Soldier collections or from the first collection signed Carmen Emanuela Popa, will be accompanied by a number of original sketches from the designer.
“Likewise, a surprise element of the exhibition will visually mark the designer’s artistic-sentimental link with Russian culture and art. The event will feature a piano and contemporary dance moment, a homage paid to classical Russian ballet with contemporary undertones. The exhibition is open on March 3-11.
Designer Carmen Emanuela Popa felt an attraction for the world around her from a very young age, having a profound artistic vision on the way it should be represented, through water colour drawings and then oil paintings. Her characters then put on a metaphorical coat that says everything about the way she is impressed with life under all its forms, directly confessing, every time, her way “of being.”
“Thank you for giving me this amazing opportunity to exhibit some of my inner world transfigured into immediate realities, in such a generous space, through the kindness of Director Natalia Muzhennikova. The works exhibited here are a form of directly displaying my attachment to Russian art and culture,” the designer stated.
“Carmen Emanuela Popa recently militated for peace in Paris. The coat of the Contemporary Unknown Soldier was worn again, this time on a real street podium, on International Peace Day, on 21 September 2015. The designer was overwhelmed with emotion when she sang “vive la paix” and it seemed like the voice of the contemporary unknown soldier was identical to that of the one from the past, in essence the universal one,” the organizers show.

Expozitie de design contemporan la Centrul Rus de Stiinta si Cultura Bucuresti
Designerul roman Carmen Emanuela Popa va expune, in data de 3 martie 2016, la Centrul Rus de Stiinta si Cultura Bucuresti, o serie de obiecte vestimentare conceptuale care fac parte din noua colectie BD toamna / iarna 2016, dar si piese din prestigioasele colectii prezentate pe podiumurile internationale din cadrul evenimentelor de profil cum ar fi Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Russia sau Athens Xclusive Designers Week. Lucrari din colectiile Woman N, Soldatul Necunoscut Contemporan sau piese din prima colectie semnata Carmen Emanuela Popa, vor fi insotite de un numar de schite originale ale designerului. De asemenea, un element surpriza al expozitiei va marca vizual legatura artistico-afectiva a designerului de cultura si arta rusa. In cadrul evenimentului vor avea loc un moment coregrafic sustinut de Georgiana Dobre, un omagiu adus baletului clasic rus cu interferente contemporane, si, de asemenea, un recital pianistic oferit de Abel-Edison Corban.
"Multumesc pentru aceasta oportunitate extraordinara de a putea expune o parte din lumea mea interioara transfigurata in realitati imediate, intr-un spatiu atat de generos, prin amabilitatea D-nei Director Natalia Muzhennikova. Lucrarile expuse in cadrul acestui eveniment sunt o forma de expunere directa a atasamentului meu fata de arta si cultura rusa", spune designerul roman Carmen Emanuela Popa.
Expozitia poate fi vizionata in perioada 3 - 11 martie 2016.
Despre Carmen Emanuela Popa
Designerul a fost, inca de la o varsta frageda, foarte atrasa de lumea inconjuratoare, avand o viziune artistica profunda asupra reprezentarii ei, fie prin desene acuarela, apoi ulei pe panza, ca ulterior personajele sale sa imbrace o haina metafora care sa spuna totul despre modul in care acest caracter este impresionat de viata, sub toate formele ei de expresie, marturisind de fiecare data, in direct, felul lui de "a fi".
Recent, Carmen Emanuela Popa a militat pentru pace, la Paris. Haina Soldatului Necunoscut Contemporan a fost imbracata din nou, de aceasta data pe un podium real al strazilor, de Ziua Internationala a Pacii, pe 21 septembrie, 2015. Designerul a fost cuprins de emotie cand scanda "vive la paix", si parca, glasul soldatului necunoscut contemporan era aidoma celui din trecut, in esenta, universal. Carmen este absolventa a Facultatii de Arte Decorative si Design, din cadrul Universitatii Nationale de Arte, Bucuresti, si de Master in fashion design - Strategii de Moda si Costum, in cadrul aceleiasi universitati.
