Paskal Kiev Fashion Days S/S 2013

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly, but there’s something in Julia Paskal butterflies that tells us this adorable Ukranian girl is going to fly high in the luxurious sky of fashion.

For the next spring summer, on Mercedes Benz Kiev Fashion Days catwalk, a collection conceived on the nature of duality and of the harmony of opposites: living nature and inanimate world, chaos and order, symmetry and imbalance, that reflect on the textures combinations of matte and shiny, fine and rough fabrics, translucency and layering.

Insects are the main inspiration for the collection. The butterfly as a symbol of the divine, conversion and transformation. A beetle and a dragonfly, a bee and a fly to symbolize the opposition of tenderness and brutality, speed and slowness, in a beautiful collection that features sophisticated butterfly-shaped laser perforations that might become the designer signature for her eternal, strange, silent beauty.
