BEYOND

Beyond is a Sofia-based fashion house founded in November 2011 by designer Borche Ristovsky, who designs and creates the clothes, and stylist Dobromir Kiryakov, who handles the marketing and sales. Beyond thrives on creating sophisticated dresses for the modern women who dare use fashion to express their individual identity. Borche Ristovsky is a young designer who was born in Macedonia, but moved to Bulgaria to get a degree in fashion at the National Academy of Arts. He designs and creates all of his dresses by hand and loves to incorporate rich details in them. His work is appreciated by stylists and artists both for its uniqueness and exquisite look. Borche quickly manages to make a name for himself in the fashion world and decides to team up with stylist Dobromir Kiryakov and take his work of art to the next level. Dobromir Kiryakov always knew that fashion would play a crucial role in his life. His first encounter with fashion happens in his grandparents' shoe factory at a very early age. But it all begins when at 15, he lays eyes on a Tom Ford catalogue for Gucci and his fascination turns into a dream, and then a career. Dobromir graduates the National University of Economics, but decides to pursue fashion journalism and becomes a fashion editor at MODA magazine. In 2007 he receives the "Fashion Journalist of the Year" award at the Pantene Beauty Awards. His work as a stylist begins at ELLE, where he's given a chance to style a photoshoot for the magazine. Since then, his work has been published at Harper's Bazaar, ELLE, MAX, Madame Figaro. Currently Dobromir is a fashion editor at Amica magazine, a personal celebrity stylist and can be seen on the weekly lifestyle TV show 'Moderno'.
