Lookbook: Romance Goddess

"When in love, she loves passionately, deeply and wholly. Each touch, each kiss and affectionate gesture from her lover, she returns with a hundred times more intensity. She lives in the moment, for the love, soaking it in like the warm autumn sun. She doesn't forget to enjoy the simple things in life, all that we take for granted. Romance is beautiful, is key, and is what she lives for."

Ulyana Sergeenko - Spring 2014 Couture

Ulyana Sergeenko designed a gorgeous couture collection that evokes feelings of an old-time romance, sensual and elegant with a dramatic flair. 

“It’s a glamorous woman taking a voyage through the Eastern republics of the former Soviet Union" The Russian couturier explains. Inspirations were taken from a train trip, with destinations that included Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Ulyana tells a story through her exquisite collection and translates the adventures of a femme fatale. 

Detailing was greatly emphasized and close-up you could see the intricate details and careful craftsmanship for each piece. The collection featured luxurious silk satins, hourglass corsets with very defined sweetheart necklines, hand-painted fringing, some layering and silk embroidery. The accessories fit the theme with colourful vintage-feel trunks and bed-roll clutches with flower embroideries and tassels. All the models wore peep-hole pumps and looked sultry and sophisticated. 

Below are my favourite looks from the collection, be sure to check her work out, links below.
