Iva Sokovic Belgrade Fashion Week

In the past few years Serbia has been eating up more and more of the international fashion scene spotlight. Numerous fresh designers keep popping up at Belgrade Fashion Week each season, and lots of them actually succeed in grasping the attention of the industry, way beyond Serbian borders.

Iva Sokovic is one of our latest discoveries. With a hint of Thierry Mugler and a Gareth Pugh twist, this designer pulls off a pretty rad look. Even though her designs are more down-to-earth and considerably less shocking than those of the aforementioned mammoths, she still manages to send the imagination of the viewers on a fabulous journey. Her latest collection presented during BFW is centered on the allure of an elusive creature of the night; unearthly cuts shape a mischievous rogue, a feisty outcast. The pieces are tailored to complement the silhouette of this luscious individual, whilst projecting a sheer badass attitude! Ultra skinny trousers and miniskirts make up for the sexy, glamorous side, while Goth leather jackets bring in a seductive dark edge

Intricate details complete the looks, while all sorts of body constriction methods are employed in order to reveal the curves of an evanescent figure. Aside from these, embellishments such as oversized necklines, corsets, ruffles, lace patterns are used for maximizing the dramatic effect. An eclectic combination of luxurious textures such as leather, satin, sequins has a bewildering result. The colors employed are those of a clear night sky, with deep shades of blue, bleumarine and hypnotic silver. Just the right amount of glitter is sprinkled so as to enhance this dreamy feel.

As for the designer behind the collection, we can only say that she’s as mysterious as her creations. All we know is that she’s a young, passionate artist and nothing more. In her biography section of her website, there’s only a picture of her hand; perhaps, she prefers her work do all the talking. Kudos in any case; excellent work so far.
