OLYA KOSTERINA

Yaroslavl designer Olya Kosterina’s new Fall-Winter 2020-2021 collection shows us a girl who explores a post-apocalyptic urban environment. She is the evocation of a classic anime character: strong, untimely, amusing, and elegant in her personal way. She is bold and fragile at once, thirsty for adventure and unmistakably feminine.

Pleats, one of the key elements of the brand’s design, are a part of this collection in many ways: from small details and pleated blocks to a dress entirely made of more than 30 pleated details converged into a single playful volume.

Each pleated product is made manually by the brand team through the use of paper templates and the couture approach. The collection is complemented by printed pieces: checks and roses, a curtsy to the Japanese cartoon universe.
