The newest collection by knitwear designer Ekaterina Kukhareva is seemingly inspired by the oriental. The pastel garments hold resemblance to those worn by Japanese geisha girls, including a contemporary twist on the traditional kimono. Each look was completed with a beautiful Lara Jensen headpiece, dashed with spring blossom.
The presentation space had been stylised as a Zen garden to reflect Ekaterina's Japanese influences. In contrast to the hectic lifestyle of London Fashion Week, the overall mood of the spring/summer showcase was calm and serene. It was a comfort to be able to slow down and appreciate the details of the collection, rather than to see only a short glimpse of patterned fabric on a runway.
