CAREFULLY HANDCRAFTED PIECES

The fabric choices of the collection reflect some sort of getting back to the traditional, as leather pieces are combined with finger-crocheted wool vests made of gigantic yarns and hand-crocheted sweaters made of regular sized yarns. The balance between structure and natural appearance was a key element in this collection.

BEING ENTANGLED

The idea behind the collection is the concept of being tied into engagements and their controversial impacts on our emotional life, how long we should persist, is it worth to endure and be entangled in something that is choking us already. How to switch to ties which are constructive, which hold us together and build us.

COLOR SCHEME

The designer is always fond of the minimalism of black and white, which combination plays a significant role in almost all of her collections, including this one.
