Five top notch Ukrainian designers opened 29th Ukrainian Fashion Week on Oct. 13 in Mystetsky Arsenal. Silky, flowing dresses of pastel colors seemed to dominate designers’ imagination.
Liliya Poustovit headlined the opening presenting casual, relaxed dresses to the fashion-refined audience. The 45-year old blond couturier shed a tear after the show saying that her collection reminded her of her mother when she was young.
Viktoria Gres, known to work with many celebrities and politicians, was influenced by flirtatious Italian holiday town Portofino. Gres bet on luxury casual styles in her next season’s choice of a wardrobe.
Flamboyant Alexey Zalevskiy, 37, dressed his models in yellow and gray and covered their heads with glistening helmets made of foil. Some of his models looks like elfs from Lord of the Rings.
Elena Bunenina stayed loyal to strict geometrical forms in her collection, whereas Anisimov presented simple airy dresses.
