Designer Alexandra Kazakova skillfully combines various modern trends and the fashionable legacy of the past in her fall-winter collection 2013/2014.
In just three years, Alexandra was able to become one of the most successful and popular Russian designers. However, achieving goals in record time and working ahead of the curve for this young girl, who also has a model appearance and figure, is in the order of things. In her own words, she started drawing Alexander, before she spoke, at five she went to school, graduated from her as an external student and at the age of fourteen she entered the famous forge of design personnel - Moscow State Textile University. Just a couple of months after the release, she already presented to the general public the first collection under the brand Alexandra Kazakova.
Almost everything can become a source of inspiration for her design ideas: surrounding objects, architecture, various historical eras or events. Alexandra loves unusual creative experiments, especially coloristic and stylistic ones, she happily mixes seemingly incompatible things in her collections. This fall-winter season, Aleksandra Kazakova was inspired by fashionable silhouettes from the time of the French Revolution of 1789-1794 and the catchy chic inherent in the Ottoman Empire.Different eras, countries, materials and colors harmoniously formed into the current line of men's and women's clothing, which has elegant evening dresses, stylish and at the same time simple casual items, as well as ensembles that are perfect for business people. The designer offers to play in contrasts in the new season: she shaded the loose, unusual, non-constraining cut and laconic forms with the luxury of materials such as jacquard, silk, velvet, brocade, natural fur. The color scheme chosen for the collection is just as restrained as the cut: the main colors were the black beloved by Alexandra, soft brown, deep green, saturated gray-blue - noble autumnal shades.
