Ulyana Sergeenko Fall/Winter 2014 Haute Couture–Inspired by artwork created in Russia during its Soviet Union period, Ulyana Sergeenko presented part fairy-tale and part revolution for her fall-winter 2014 haute couture collection. “USSR was the never-tone-realized dream of the perfect world” her show notes read. While political ideology may never produce a utopian future, fashion can produce fantasy like no other industry. Sergeenko’s haute couture line delivers something modern, yet still evokes the dreamy etherealness one would expect from a couturier. The contrast of sculptural shapes in hard leather and metallics juxtaposes with luxurious lace, organza and satin duchesse gowns. Dreams and reality become one for the Sergeenko woman.
Oh my goodness absolutely wonderful! What an amazing artist.
