Constantine is a Creative Director and Stylist from Ukraine. Taking inspiration from a different life. A utopian style at it’s finest. Read to find out what inspires Tikhonovskiy.
If you had to describe your style, how would you describe it?
I would consider myself as a daydreamer, and the life in a post-Soviet country only makes me dig deeper into this voyage. It is also about my personal experience and feelings I want to express through the images I create together with photographers and models.
Is there a story about how you became involved in this field?
I started to create looks around the time when I got into the voguing ballroom scene and the nightlife where I could perform a character, blending the genders and exaggerating a picture of me, creating personas.
What’s the most exciting part about being involved in this industry?
In my works, I love creating a feeling like everything has stopped, \not just because it is a still picture, but the world is on hold for a moment and life itself inspires.
What is the inspiration behind your work?
A lot of inspiration comes from classic art with a touch of modern life, it is something theatrical and pompous yet personal.
