My collection was completed and perfected especially for this exhibition. It is inspired by Vladivostok, its movement, its avant-garde spirit. My costumes are already famous in the city. Some musical groups perform wearing them. The garments presented here are exhibition samples, but any of them that the customer likes can be sewn directly onto the figure according to the principle of a capsule collection.
The students of College of Industry of Fashion and Beauty Iullia Semenchuk, Alisa Litvinova and Daria Volkova presented the collection “Forrest Wedding”. The show was made by “Pygmalion” theatre of fashion.
“The highlight of our collection is that it was created from decommissioned materials, actually from scraps,” says Iulia Semenchuk. – We have made a full collection. Each product is as individual as possible, but together these are images of the forest and the various mythical beings. These are fairies, and goblins, and simply stylizations of different trees. The basic images are suitable for any age and, as you can see, they are demonstrated by girls of different age groups.
