Ulyana Sergeenko Fall 2013 Couture Review

For her third couture collection, Ulyana Sergeenko turned to Russian folktales for inspiration with impressive craftsmanship details like honeycomb ruching, tear-shaped cutouts, Vologda lace underlays and hand-embroidery, all of which she executed with a sense of control.

Standouts from the collection included a shaved beaver cape with a black funnel neck embroidered with flowers and river pearls. Models stepped out from a frame shaped like a looking glass, wearing Sergeenko’s signature high-necked dresses and transparent panel details hinting at a more subversive edge.
