Kiev Fashion days. unpublished

This post is kind a way to say goodbye to Kiev Fashion Days which I really enjoyed attending over the weekends. some of my pictures taken from other bloggers, who I was happy to meet during the event.

Этот пост - своего рода прощание с Kiev Fashion Days, во время которых я провела замечательное время на выходных. некоторые фотографии со мной были позаимствованы у других блоггеров, с которыми я была очень рада познакомится во время мероприятия.

Kiev Fashion days. 2

I'm finally posting the details of my second day at the Kiev Fashion Days, which started with the Sasha Kanevski show(wich was my favourite). as you can see, the catwalk was layerd with crashed car front windows - quite fresh idea, don't you think?))

Наконец-то пишу о втором дне проведенном на Kiev Fashion Days, который начался показом Саши Каневского(который мне больше всего понравился).как вы видите, подиум был устлан побитыми лобовыми стеклами - довольно свежая идея, не правда?))

Kiev Fashion days. 3

Sorry for not posting about the second day of KFD yesterday(I probs do it tomorrow), but here are the details of the third and the last one. the main idea of my look was to be lady-like and then I've decided to finish it with those adorable lacу bunny ears made by ukrainian designer Yaroslava Kossenko. my pleated skirt was vintage, man's sweater by Lyle and Scott and one of my favourite rings - in a cubical shape by Cheap Monday.

Простите что не постила вчера о втором дне KFD(наверно сделаю это завтра),сейчас же пишу о третьем и последнем дне. главная идея моего "лука" была lady-like, который я довершила кружевными кроличьими ушками от украинского дизайнера Ярославы Коссенко. так же на мне была плиссированная винтажная юбка, мужской свитер Lyle and Scott и одно из моих любимых колец в форме куба Cheap Monday.

Yesterday, Kiev Fashion Days began for me with the press-conference of italian designer Francesco Scognamiglio(really hard to pronounce in russian, haha), who came to Kiev with his spring/summer 2011 anniversary collection and few dresses being insanely famous because of his favourite customers: Madonna and Lady Gaga. speaking of me, I was wearing one of my favourite skirts, bought in London, wellies, bought in France, New Look feather cape and my DIY-ed bag(you can read about it HERE)

Kiev Fashion Days begin!

Today is the 25th of March and it's snowing, WTF?! in few hours Kiev Fashion Days will start(aahh, can't wait!!) and the weather makes me do some serious changes with the planned outfit// well, a bit of inspiration, listening to Metric's Monsters Hospital and everything will be worked out))

Red riding hood

Yesterday I started collecting KFD invitations to the shows and the first place of my destination was a concept shop PURE, where I've got my hands on Sasha Kanevski's one. love this store for it's design and "jelly bears" floor)) it's already the end of March, but still quite chilly, so I decided to wear one of my favourite warm hats(probs the last chance to wear it this season). also I had a New York City white Mim t-shirt, topshop red cardigan, D&G inspired leggins bought in London, Carvela boots and my DIY-ed coat on.

Вчера начала собирать пригласительные на показы KFD, и первым местом назначения стал концепт-стор ПЮРЕ, где я обеспечила себе "вход" на Сашу Каневского. магазин этот радует меня своим дизайном и полом "в резиновых мишках" )) несмотря на то что уже конец марта, на улице еще достаточно прохладно, так что решила напоследок в этом сезоне одеть одну из своих любимых шапок. так же на мне была белая футболка Mim, красный кардиган topshop, легинсы в стиле D&G купленные в Лондоне, ботинки Carvela и обновленное позавчера пальто.

New studded life

Studds have been in fashion for quite a long time now, but still highly desired by fashionistas from all over the world, including me)) so yesterday a sudden idea came up to mind: why not giving my old H&M black coat a new life. a studded life that is. as you see, the inspiration is from all over

Заклепки в моде уже давно, но повышений интерес к ним поклонников моды со всего мира не утихает, также как и мой)) так вот вчера меня посетила внезапная идея: почему бы не вдохнуть вторую жизнь в мое старое черное пальто H&M. естественно при помощи заклепок. вдохновение отовсюду











and here is my old coat



the studds




and finaly, the results!!






what do you think?

Ukrainian Fashion Week. day 6

The 6th and the last day of Ukrainian Fashion Week was less hectic and busy as all the previous days, but still, there was enough fruits of sartorialism to watch. so here are my eye-candies from the catwalks:

Yellow mini-dresses by young designers Komardina and Karpishina (I'm a big fan of the vanilla colour)



Fringed long skirts by Elena Golets



Carrot-orange pieces by Ivanova and her cute man's look



Today I'm gonna do some DIY, so hope you'll be able to see it soon))

Ukrainian Fashion Week. day 5

On the 5th day of UFW I've managed to come with a better cam, but still it didn't help much with a catwalk shooting. the look I chose to try was quite strict, black+leopard, I wore the dress by turkish young designers (that looks a bit like Lanvin to me), Fornarina knee-high wedges and River Island clutch.

Ukrainian Fashion Week. day 3 and 4

The major colours in collections of these days were black and different shades of grey. it was quite a contrast to two previous days were designers easily played with bright palette. probably a decent amount of people still consider autumn and winter to be the specificly 'dark' seasons of the year.
The biggest amount of looks from the collection that fitted to my liking were from Krasilnikova, loved the transparent long dresses, such a must-have right now



Very grey but really nice was the Pecherova man's collection



Transparency was almost among all of the runways, here Bevza, lobanova and BeKh



Although there were some 'sporty'and easy looks, here Zinaida lihachova, Nadya Dzyak and Olga Sobol



Zalevskiy was the most spoken-about showmaker as usual. the basic colours of the collection were black and electric blue, which made a good combination





The last transparant body-suit and the mask on the guys..emm...you know what, could perfectly fit in Lady Gaga's wardrobe, don't you think? ))

Fashion Blogger Party

The 3rd day of Ukrainian Fashion Week was meant to finish with a Fashion Bloggers Party, but in fact it would be suitable to call it Trash Hipster Party instead. the most popular question at the entrance was: 'Is it really the place?'. it imediately felt like there was some strict grange dress-code and nobody told you about that. the next thing which surprised us was being in the guest list as photographers, not the bloggers, so had to spend like 10 mins figuring that out. when we finally made our way to the party, we were speechless: the place was narrow and in the middle of repairs(at least it seemed like so)and filled with smoke, that it was almost imposible to take a quality pictures(tnanx to Oleg, he manged to do some). well, there were some positive things: great music and free drinks as promised. though, at midnight we felt the need to move somewere else. our next stop was Heaven club, after that we walked to Icon Bar. it was freezing, but we were lucky to be escorted by the girls on the Mini Cooper who kindly decided to stop by)) the three of us called it a night at Travkin's cosy(at 3 a.m it was for sure) office, when drinking starbucks coffee and listening music on iphone.

Третий день Ukrainian Fashion Week предполагал закончится Fashion Bloggers Party, но на деле более подходящим было бы это назвать вечеринкой трэш хипстеров. самым распространенным вопросом на входе был: "А мы туда попали?". В тот же миг появлялось ощущение что здесь существует строгий гранж дресс-код, о котором вас забыли предупредить. следующим сюрпризом для нас было оказаться в списке фотографов, а не блоггеров, так что пришлось потратить минут 10 что бы все это дело выяснить. когда мы наконец-то добрались до самой вечеринки, от неожиданности пропал дар речи: помещение не отличалось широким пространством и находилось в состоянии ремонта(по крайней мере было такое ощущение) и наполнено дымом до такой степени, что сделать приличные фотографии было практически невозможно(спасибо Олегу что умудрился сделать пару). Были в принципе и позитивные стороны: хорошая музыка и обещанная бесплатная выпивка. но все же, в полночь мы почувствовали что жаждем сменить обстановку и отправились в Heaven. после решили пешком пройтись до Icon Bar, было холодно, и добрые девочки на Mini Cooper решили нас подбросить)) для нас троих вечер закончился в уютном(он нам с Лизой таким показался в 3 утра) офисе у Травкина за питьем "старбаксного" кофе под музыку с "айфона".
