Fashion garments should always tell stories. They are designated for women who find their femininity experimenting with the silhouette, colours and fabrics; they are for women who want to express their individuality much more than to transform into women who others would like to see in their imagination.
The winter of 2015-2016 will rely on experiments, on combining of unexpected clothes, on playing with the texture of materials and prints. This way of clothing requires confidence in the choice.
The Collection of the season is inspired by two bright styles in the history of Fashion. The one is the Gothic style of dressing, in which many subcultures exist, but the leading element in it is the expression of the personal style and individuality through the garments in black, or clothes in dark nuances.
A black jacket or coat, varied with peplum in the waistline, is combined with a small black dress, skirt or trousers. The materials used for the everyday clothes or business suits are: wool, jersey, leather, hand-woven fabrics, resembling a rug, as well as fabrics manufactured through new technologies, that make them look embossed and thick.
In these garments metal zippers are used as accents for buttoning.
Dinner-jackets with trousers in various silhouettes, resembling man’s vision and combined with white shirts, are extremely topical for the season.
The evening clothes in this style include small black dresses and long black gowns. Some models are cut out and with frills in the waistline, others are straight and knee-long. Characteristic for them are the long sleeves and the combination of several kinds of lace.
The long formal gowns are made in a combination of silk and lace, as well as in embroidered gauze.
The black clothes, typical for the Gothic fashion, are variegated with garments inspired by the Pop-Art culture. In these clothes bright colours are being used, such as turquoise, green, Turkish blue and lilac. Characteristic for them are the abstract, even surrealistic prints, as well as prints borrowed from the mass culture.
The aim of these designs is to provoke surprise and make women noticeable. The need for satisfaction is expressed on the garments in the way of flamboyant pictures or unusual details. Woolen and silk fabrics with one and the same print are combined in one garment. In some of the designs lace or taffeta are added as a supplement.
As a counterpoint to the black Gothic style, the Pop-Art style in the Collection is a mix of colours with unusual impish drawing, characteristic for which is the fact that several separate elements, taken out of their original context, are laid over one fabric or garment. The mixing of prints with different proportions make the clothes look more interesting.
Out of these materials coats, jackets, dresses, skirts, shirts and trousers are made, that can match with one another, or go with plain garments.
Materials: wool, cashmere, leather, chiffon, silk, taffeta, lace, jersey.
Colours: black, turquoise, green, Turkish blue, lilac, white.
