Lara Quint is the emerging fashion brand of designer Lara Tomashchuk. After finishing her studies in fashion design at the Kyiv University of Technology and Design in 2011, Lara took her first steps as an intern for Russian designer Tatiana Parfionova, and as a designer for Ukrainian fashion brand ELENAREVA. In 2013 Lara launched her own label with focus on womenswear.
LARA QUINT is an abbreviation of Quintessence (from Lat. quīnta essentia – fifth essence) that is the key, most important, most significant and purest essence. This is the fifth, the finest type of matter along with water, air, earth and fire. It is this association that keeps the desire of Lara Quint to work with the transformation of image into clothes with the help of colors, unusual shapes, lines, and materials. Lines and shaping of the garment follow in the footsteps of the past, highlighting the most memorable parts of a cut that gives fresh perspective on fashion.
Minimalistic clean cut and avant-garde volume silhouettes are considered to be the signature of LARA QUINT along with innovational fabrics. Prints are interspersed with textures, handmade technology embodies fabrics into architectonic forms. Plastic, wood and metal give new meaning to material.
The lady of LARA QUINT is a passionate, free spirited personality, who's looking for unique outfits to help her shine. She is an intelligent and ambitious woman, and her clothes give her confidence, femininity, sexuality - and reveal the essential authenticity of her personality.

LES FLEURS DU MAL FW’16/17 COLLECTION

LES FLEURS DU MAL
FW’16/17 COLLECTION
All flowers wither, yet we wish to keep the sweet scent of their withering in our hearts. Is it immoral? Possibly. Are we to blame? Certainly not! Charles Baudelaire draws a bright line between life andeath in his collection of poems “The Flowers of Evil” (Les Fleurs du mal). He glorifies beauty the moment it’s born and then eloquently foretells its demise. This is the inspiration behind LARA QUINT’s new Autumn/Winter collection “Les Fleurs du mal”. Its central image is a flower in the state of catharsis: a bright, blinding flash, the craving for the sun, the intoxicating scent. But the beautiful flower is doomed to wither, die, and decay; it’s about to return to the soil that it came from. LARA QUINT endures the death of ideals. A human being is weak and a flower is marvellous. Pastel shades morph into crazy ones and the brightest moments are recorded. A flower and a human being are interlaced in their common effort to break away from decay and burst forward with a bright flash, magnificent and senseless in all its beauty. Strict designs coupled with laconic knitwear find harmony through the magic touch of LARA QUINT. Long coats, trouser suits, and woollen overalls matched with knee-high boots and rubberized fabric gloves are a complementary combination of rough male and delicate feminine aesthetics. A chrysanthemum flower is the collection’s central motif, making its way through stitches, petals entwining chests and waists, and returning to the soil as dew drops trickling down the stalks of our hands.
