Kiev Fashion Days catwalk show and backstage report for LFW A/W 2014

An extremely busy show space at the Freemason’s Hall was transformed into a fantastic showcase on Saturday afternoon with the Mercedes Benz Kiev Fashion Days project taking centre stage. Designers Anna K, Krasilnikova, Lara Quint, Paskal, Yasya Minochkina and Lera Leshchova all had the opportunity to display their designs for autumn/winter 2014 and the fashion crowds were not left disappointed.

First off was Anna K, who displayed a rather extravagant side to her collection, showcasing denim jumpsuits with huge leg pieces, and t-shirts displaying captions such as “Fashion Circus”. Her collection definitely made a statement.

Lara Quint’s autumn/winter 2014 collection featured a palette of reds, beiges and blacks, which created a more neutral feel. Cropped trousers and corset gowns were key in this collection.

One of our favourite designers, Paskal, was up next and we knew we were in for a treat. Cage-inspired outfits were all over the bill for her autumn/winter 2014 collection, with clean-cut dresses wowing the crowds.

Other collections also did not disappoint and showed the true talent of the Ukrainian designers.
