FALL/WINTER 2014/2015 PANNOCHKA

In the pret-a-porter collection of women's clothing "Pannochka" Margarita Kozak creates fashionable outfits in a folk style that is currently experiencing the peak of its popularity in Ukraine.

The defining element of the entire collection is the fashionable long and short skirts with pleats made of jacquard. The modern silhouette and cut of the skirts proposed by the designer perfectly complement the fabric's pattern, reminiscent of traditional Ukrainian plahta skirts.

As a vibrant contrast to the dense and heavy skirts with lining, Margarita Kozak offers semi-transparent chiffon blouses with open shoulders. The exquisite decoration of the blouses abounds with folk motifs - they are adorned with floral embroidery, lace, wooden beads, and voluminous chiffon flowers created using the designer's unique technique.

For everyday wear during the cold season, the collection includes jersey pullovers that also have a folk touch - folk-inspired sleeves with cuffs or floral silk embroidery.

The collection also features a wide range of warm dresses. The variety of short, modern silhouettes, suitable for everyday wear, is balanced by long evening dresses that accentuate the figure.

In evening attires, the designer uses metallic jersey fabric and embroidery with lurex, embellished with Swarovski crystals and sequins - an ideal combination for a festive outfit on a winter evening.
