LAKE designers’ style is laconic casual chic. Emphasis on cut and sublime laconic silhouette. Combination of minimalism and complex constructions. Purity, geometry, but with “fluid” lines. Original details and accessories, a lot f hand-made. Reconsideration of classic feminine silhouette. Liberty and lightness.

Natalia Kamenska and Olesya Kononova design for contemporary urban woman with a big-city mind. Not because she indispensably lives in a big city but because she has that type of lifestyle when she travels a lot, has inner freedom and is keen on art, architecture, and history. However despite her active character and the rush of modern world this woman appreciates her inner harmony. She values the essence of things and her own essence primarily. The concord of nature, solitude, asceticism and such attributes of modern world as high-tech architecture and new technologies could be retraced in LAKE design. LAKE is defined by its emphasis on tailoring, craftsmanship and attention to detail. One tailor sews every piece individually from the beginning to the end; artisanal seams and finishes are quite common. Many clothes are unique or produced in limited series. All wear is manufactured in Ukraine. LAKE collections are featured in Vogue.it, Vogue Russia, Vogue Ukraine, Collezioni Italia, Close-Up Italia, Institute magazine, ELLE Russia, ELLE Ukraine, ELLE Polska, Glamour Russia, InStyle Russia, Harper’s Bazaar Ukraine, Marie Claire Ukraine, Cosmopolitan Ukraine.
