Fur Garden

If you are a tailor, and your dress doesn’t fit as you expected, you will probably put a seam on it; but if you are a young woman named Yulia Hilevich, one of the most promising designers showing at Belarus Fashion Week, you will probably put a knot. Not a ribbon, and nothing to do with a romantic band, just a navy inspired knot, heavy enough to shape your behind.
With elements borrowed from the masculine and from the oriental world, kimono-like fantasies, block colors and flowered patterns, Fur Garden for the next Spring Summer is an unscrupulous upstream collection: no space for curves and no chances for a woman that is not super slim and tall enough.
Fabrics range from silk to knitwear and leather, without ever losing the lightness in the lengths of a runway that according to the press release was inspired by the music that scans the moments of a woman’s life. The reality is that that sometimes you don’t need a story to justify the creation of a collection that is incredibly feminine and subtlety elegant per se
