Lidia Demidova Aurora Fashion Week AW 2013

The regulating line is a satisfaction of a spiritual order which leads to the pursuit of ingenious and harmonious relations’ said Le Corbusier in 1946, and more than 50 years later Lidia Demidova, a student of the St Petersburg Industrial Art Academy, couldn’t agree more. The collection presented at Aurora Fashion Week adapts Le Corbusier principles and semantics to fashion and more specifically to a collection that results harmonious and well-balanced in volumes.

The main idea behind the ensemble was to combine fabric handle and interesting shapes. A minimalist admirer, the designer’s intent is to use clear lines without needless details; a modern sobriety that finds in a dark color palette its natural expression. Lidia Demidova finds her inspiration in art: Mark Rothko and Lucio Fontana’s pictures inspired her next Winter collection, that coherently combines geometrical configuration and constructability.
