EKATERINAKUKHAREVA

For this Spring Summer’s 2012 Ekaterina Kukhareva knitwear collection, the emphasis is of course on the fabrics. While playing with proportions, yarn materials and weights the collection is also full of brightly coloured flower jacquards, which are the main inspiration for the summer season. The focus is on ‘Natural’ – Orchids, Sunflowers, Lilies and Chamomiles are all a reminder of summer blossom. This season Ekaterina Kukhareva embraces the natural beauty of these flowers and through them celebrates grace, natural beauty and the natural sense of style of women. Her new collection almost allows you to smell the scent of blooming flowers. Flower jacquards, lace knits, hand crocheted details are mixed with weightless viscose. To contrast the soft lines we associate with flowers, she also uses geometric lines and clashing colours in this summer collection: lime green, neon orange, white, grey, pink and blue. This summer collection is giving Ekaterina Kukhareva the freedom and encouragement to express her summer feelings through her clothing. Hopefully she can empower you to do the same... Bright tops, swimsuits, shorts, jumpsuit, floor length dresses paired up with lace or crocheted cardigans are must have items to enhance the existing wardrobe of a modern life woman. Viscose and cotton jacquard jackets with matching dresses and iridescent lining, neon bright ribbons, macramé belts, intarsia patterns, see-through fabrics against matt can all be matched together to create a glamorous day out in a sun, be it in a city or on a beach. Simple and geometric shapes of the garments are emphasizing and underlining the woman's flawless natural figure with all its curves. Chunky crocheted garments against soft and draped fabrics create the perfect mixture and complement each other and the modern life woman.
