About

CHIMERA is a contemporary fashion brand exploring the space where technology, memory, and material craft meet. Rooted in a fascination with early internet aesthetics — an era when the digital world still felt optimistic and full of possibility — the brand looks to the past to imagine the future. Each piece blends nostalgia with innovation, revisiting familiar everyday imagery and reinterpreting it through AI-driven processes, collage methods, and tactile experimentation.

CHIMERA's visual language is built on hybrid thinking: analog and digital, sentimental and surreal, familiar and futuristic. Photographic fragments of the mundane are transformed into conceptual wearables, creating objects that feel both strangely intimate and distinctly new. Technology isn’t a replacement for craft, but an extension of it — another tool for shaping material, emotion, and story.

Founded by Latvian designer Liana Paberza, now based in Copenhagen, the brand grew out of her ongoing exploration of digital surrealism and textile design. Her MFA research at The Swedish School of Textiles centered on AI-assisted image generation in print and the meeting point between physical and virtual realities, laying the foundation for CHIMERA's signature approach.

The name draws softly from the mythical Chimera — a creature composed of many parts. For us, it symbolizes hybridity, reinvention, and the beauty of things that don’t fit neatly into one world. We're here to explore it, one strange and beautiful creation at a time.
