Alexey Sorokin

Who is Alexey Sorokin?

Alexey Sorokin is a fashion designer from St. Petersburg. Sorokin created the women's clothing brand Homo Consommatus, which is Latin for "consuming person" on 25 June 2008.

In 2008, the Saint Petersburg Art and Industry Academy housed the designer's final graduation collection. Its main idea was the 'wrapping of a person' as means of identification and self-defense.

October 2011, the Homo Consommatus women´s wear Spring/Summer 2012 collection debuted at Aurora Fashion Week, in St. Petersburg, Russia. Alexey subsequently showed his Fall/Winter 2012-13 collection on the same platform. These collections received notable praise in the European Press, from L'Official, InStyle and Woman, among others. US based magazine DEPESHA has featured his first full interview and editorial.

In September 2012, Depesha magazine brought Homo Consommatus to New York Fashion Week to present his Spring/Summer 2013 collection at Runway@Pier57. Nowfashion.com includes Homo Consommatus among its live-streaming shows.

A philosophical approach to fashion prompts him to draw inspiration from such unusual subjects as pollution, consumerism and the meaning of life.
