Vika Gazinskaya (on the right) with an adorable crinkle in her nose
Vika sports an oversized jumper on top of chambray, with a Russian looking headscarf and classic Roger Vivier pumps. Somehow she's made it all work together.
I have seen this most adorable Russian girl in lots of street style pics lately, and I also read she is a clothes designer. But then again, there's always some kind of glamorous profession attributed to the pretty people hanging around fashion shows, or so I thought. Well, this girl's for real, and her clothes have just arrived HERE. I am particularly fond of this patchwork dress entirely cut and lined in cotton.
It looks both old-fashioned and modern at once. I love how it's a very humble cotton, which has been painstakingly cut and sewn back together. The Icelandic scene isn't too detailed to distract your eye from the very pleasing total. This is the kind of work we tried to do as students at fashion school. In order to circumvent the use of conventional darts we tried to shape our patchwork so that it still flattered the human body. It is rare to see people make clothes like these because they cost too much to manufacture. But seeing this kind of workmanship return to fashion makes me very happy.
