MARIA KOUNINSKA

Creative Director 




















Much to my mother’s discomfort, I came into this world ass first, on a brutally warm summer in plovdiv, bulgaria. That seems to have propelled me into a somewhat peculiar (yet not entirely special) frame of mind.

FAVORITE THINGS:

︎︎︎ Double fisting tomatoes in the garden
︎︎︎ Sound of cracking crème brûlée
︎︎︎ Traveling by train
︎︎︎ Mossy rocks, beach in the winter
︎︎︎ When dogs feel confident



BOOKS I THINK YOU SHOULD READ:


︎︎︎ Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller 

︎︎︎ Invitation to a Beheading, Vladimir Nabokov

︎︎︎ The Anomaly, Herve Le Tellier

︎︎︎ Lincoln in the Bardo, George Saunders

︎︎︎ Tender is the Flesh, Agustina Bazterrica
