Who Am I?
Who Am I?
My name is Even Kololo. I am a Paris-based designer and the founder of Fallen Ivy.
A Refuge, A Language
My relationship with fashion began at a very young age, long before it became a profession or a project. From childhood, clothing was a refuge, a form of expression, and a way to construct identity.
It allowed me to communicate emotions that words could not always carry and to shape a sense of self through what I wore.
Worlds That Shaped My Vision
As I grew older, this passion naturally intertwined with my love for manga, Japanese animation, video games, and coming-of-age stories. These worlds deeply influenced the way I perceive creativity and storytelling.
I was drawn to characters who evolve through struggle, who fall, break, heal, and transform. Through these narratives, I learned that growth is not linear and that vulnerability is often the starting point of strength.
"Fashion, much like storytelling, became for me a medium capable of carrying emotion, symbolism, and inner movement."
Evolution as a Practice
My personal journey is guided by the idea of constant evolution. Personal development, self-reflection, and emotional awareness are central to both my life and my creative process.
I believe that creation begins with introspection and that understanding oneself is an ongoing practice rather than a destination.
Fallen Ivy was born from the desire to merge these dimensions into a single language. It brings together my inner world, my cultural references, and my need for continuous transformation.
An Extension of Myself
The brand is an extension of my personal journey. Each collection represents a chapter, a moment in time, a phase of growth and reflection.
Each piece becomes a step forward, an act of healing, and a way to reinvent oneself without denying past versions.
"Through Fallen Ivy, I seek to create garments that resonate emotionally, that accompany others as they navigate their own paths."
A Lifelong Process
Through Fallen Ivy, I seek to create garments that resonate emotionally, that accompany others as they navigate their own paths, and that remind them that becoming is a lifelong process.
This is not just a brand. It is a language, a companion, and a reflection of the continuous journey we all undertake.
Each garment is an invitation to walk alongside yourself, to honor your evolution, and to embrace the beauty of constant transformation.
