Project/
Kiliacci is an ongoing design project where clothing becomes a space for exploration. Each piece reflects experiments in structure, detail, and idea — fragments of a vision made material. The project exists as an open process rather than fixed collections, a continuous attempt to translate thought into form.
Human nature compels us to name what cannot be defined. The desire to classify and simplify is an attempt to organize chaos, to convince ourselves that we understand the world. But reality resists labels. Each experience is unique, and the attempt to fit it into predefined categories inevitably leads to distortion. Fluidity and undefined boundaries become generators of individuality. Kiliacci aims to reject labels and go beyond fixed notions of self. It exists in a constant process of becoming, change, and self-discovery. In this unpredictable movement, there is a direct need to become part of something unchanging. In the search for stability, the project finds moments of invariability, like the parts of a machine released without deviation. At this immutable point, the project seeks to create clothing as a shield to preserve and nurture individuality.
About
Maksim is a multidisciplinary designer with a focus on garment design and creative direction. Since 2022, he has been based in Paris.
He works at the intersection of functionality and concept, where clothing becomes a medium for exploring internal and visual thought. His practice unfolds between activewear, lifestyle, and technical aesthetics. Through fabric, graphics, and form, he searches for unexpected connections — between body and construction, idea and action, emotion and material.
Maksim maintains an open practice built on ongoing exchange with progressive brands seeking uniqueness in their projects.
