FW21
The ELENAREVA FW21/22 collection is inspired by the motives of the works of the Ukrainian artist Kateryna Belokur who is famous for her picturesque still lifes. The designer Elena Reva focuses on the contrasting shades common to the artist's paintings. Monochrome looks in fuchsia colors are replaced by deep blue and honey-mustard bright colors. The natural mint green and white hues of gardenia flower soften and balance the rich palette. The collection is complemented by delicate floral prints on silk dresses and skirts.
The silhouettes of ELENAREVA collection are based on reinterpreted elements of the national costumes of the Slavic peoples typical for the 20-30s of the XX century. The “andarak” skirt which women usually wore tucking the hem in the belt turns into skirts with large airy folds. Apron bags used during harvesting become an elegant decorative detail on silk dresses. The collection includes the brand's traditional wide-leg trousers, knitted capes and white cashmere coats as well.
Elena Reva continues to glorify the beauty without external superfluity. The designer prefers power tailoring, clean lines and relaxed forms which have always been the strong point of the brand and remain relevant today. The designer's new femininity is not devoid of sensuality and modern sexuality. In the ELENAREVA collection this category of outfits is represented by mini bustier dress, an elegant midi dress with seductive side cutouts and revealing corsets.
