The Russian designer’s spring couture collection, that gathers inspiration from the Eighties, looks to the turn of the Russian revolution with a maximalist freedom of expression.

In an unapologetically theatrical presentation, the designer brings out pieces bursting with excess - voluminous sleeves, big earrings and overflowing sugary hues. She brings back the Eighties and roots her designs with beautiful Russian handicrafts that consumed five months each to make. From floaty gypsy skirts, handmade leather corsets, pixelated embroideries, puff-sleeved slip dresses and hand stitched lace tunics, the couture collection brings back the drama in dressing with modern standards.
