New fabulous designer alert! – I added another new designer to my list, Katya Leonovich. Stepping just a bit away (but not too far) from her initial American Football-inspired debut collection, Katya Leonovich’s Fall 2012 featured her usual “beautiful garbage” style but several looks had more structure. We saw the usual frenzied color combinations (more appropriately…watercolors as she is a painter), edgy details and embellishments, daring mixed fabrications and textures (hello snakeskin and organza) and lots of architectural details.
The architectural details are no surprise as this collection titled, “An Architectural Aesthetic”, was inspired by the designer’s point of view of the famous architecture of New York City’s buildings. We got to see this inspiration in her paintings which hung over the models during the presentation
My personal favorite looks from this collection are featured below – I love the combination of in-your-face edginess, a touch of femininity and disciplined structure featured in the looks
What do you think of Katya Leonovich’s Fall offerings?
