For those who missed the shows of first days of Ukrainian Fashion Week, the Kyiv Post offers a collection of highlights from the Spring-Summer 2014 designer shows.
POUSTOVIT S/S 2014
From year to year Lilia Poustovit adheres to her own style which
traditionally includes contrasting prints. Chekered print, strips and polka dot with
flowers are shown in trendy blue, light blue, white and pink
colors. Gold and silver can be noticed in several looks but they are also in
typical Poustovit style. Massive bracelets combined with light fabrics make
the collection complete. The overall look is fashionable and mature.
VICTORIA GRES S/S 2014
Gres traditionally uses ethnic motives in her collections. Bags with African
prints, kerchief head wraps and colorful massive necklaces – that is how
accents are pointed out. Shades of looks
are calm and monotonous. They are purple grey, white, brown and beige. Materials are natural: flax, silk and cotton. This puts the
collection above any trends.
AVTANDIL S/S 2014
Avtandil’s looks stand out of other collections with its bright red
dresses, scattering of something like poppies, transparent fabrics and air blue
and fuchsia dresses. In the next season Avtandil’s choice is more about uniqueness than popular trends. Although, we still see beige, light blue,
black-and-white shades.
Elena BURENINA S/S 2014
Geometric forms are often used in latest designer collections, but Burenina uses them at maximum. Fabrics are simple and don’t distract attention from the looks themselves. For those who cannot live without brightness designer made creative
