Kenzo sure knows about fashion. In my humble opinion, there are few designers nowadays who can take extreme risks with both colour and cut, and let's not forget the fabrics. Understanding the complexity of fashion means taking into consideration the knowledge that lays beneath it. Like in any other art field, you find bold artists, always ready to push their boundaries. This collection taught us a lot about colours. First of all, it is worth taking the risk of mixing bright colours (and even mixing them with neutrals to soften the look), and candy apple red and bright purple sure go together well. From pop art looks to modern punk - chokers, dark lipstick and general vibe of the looks - this collections does not neglect the importance of diversity - in shades and shapes and of course, patterns. High-waists, tailored jackets, experiencing with superpositions are also key themes of this collection.
Russian designer Valentin Yudashkin decided to take a break from black and make a collection full of colors. The use of neoprene and tech mesh fabrics set a sporty feminine vibe at the beginning of the collection. Yudashkin said his major inspiration for this collection was contemporary art, especially painter Piotr Uklanski. Uklanski's influence on the designer's work can indeed be perceived through the drip prints. There was also a never-ending transition between pastel and bright colors - especially red, fushia, purple and orange. The long and sometimes shiny dresses that made an entrance towards the end of the collection introduced the very last gowns which, in the designer's opinion, represented what glamour is today. Watching the fianl outfits basically seemed like watching a colorful explosion of magenta, taffeta and tulle.
