EXCAVATED SKIN: A VISUAL ESSAY BY SHERS STUDIOS
VISUAL ESSAY BY SHERS STUDIO
6 FEBRUARY 2026 — UNITED KINGDOM
Born from a recurring dream...
A place where concrete walls breathe and memories shift like dust.
Each piece feels excavated from another timeline: traces of what was, and what could be.
Every garment is both armour and artefact. Made to be worn, touched, and remembered.
A study of transformation...Of existing between ruin and rebirth.
She stands alone in a space that feels unfinished: concrete walls, too bright, too close. It could be a ruin, it could be tomorrow. The air smells of dust and plastic.
The clothes are excavations and weapons at once. Latex, poured by hand, hardens like skin that remembers its own scars; beads cling to it like remnants of ritual, like parasites, like armour.
Draping feels ancient, but cut open, reversed, exposed, refusing the comfort ofcompletion, makes the hidden visible. A bra is no longer lingerie, but a fossil, printed into form. Fragile artefacts of an extinct future tribe.

ABOUT SHERS STUDIOS BY POLINA OLEYNIKOVA
AN INDEPENDENT SLOW FASHION BRAND, SHERS STUDIOS MERGES THE VIRTUAL AND THE TANGIBLE, WORKING FLUIDLY ACROSS DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL SPACES. EACH PIECE IS AN EXTENSION OF THE SELF: ARMOUR FOR SOME; LIBERATION FOR OTHERS. ROOTED IN SLOW FASHION, SHERS STUDIOS EMBRACES THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE STONE AGE AND THE DIGITAL AGE — A CONVERGENCE OF ANCIENT INSTINCT AND FUTURISTIC VISION.
EVERY GARMENT IS MADE-TO-ORDER, CRAFTED BY HAND WITH INTENTION. TRADITIONAL COUTURE TECHNIQUES ARE FUSED WITH INNOVATIVE 3D TECHNOLOGIES TO CREATE SILHOUETTES THAT FEEL LIKE A SECOND SKIN OR EXTERNALISED EMOTION. SENSORY TEXTURES AND SCULPTURAL FORMS INVITE YOU TO FEEL DEEPLY — TO RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF.
SHERS STUDIOS IS A SPACE WHERE SENSATION MEETS INTENTION. HERE, FASHION BECOMES A MINDFUL ACT OF RESISTANCE — A CALL TO SLOW DOWN, FEEL MORE, AND EXPRESS WITHOUT LIMITS. THIS IS CLOTHING AS EXPERIENCE. AS AWAKENING. AS YOU.
