The MuscoviteS by Masha Kravtsova
Masha Kravtsova’s The MuscoviteS project made quite an impression to me when showcased in Mercedes Benz Russian Fashion Week ,earlier this year,” forcing” me to make a mental note about presenting her work at some point soon and of course,arrange an Inter-View when i’ll find the time…
Despite the fact that she started her career as a model, presenter,even being a vj at some point,she later moved to London to study fashion design. She probably did it well that after producing a few collections in her native Russia,she was invited by Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana to participate in Milan Fashion Week, where she accompanied her designs with hand-made italian accesories something that she continues to do.
Regarding her latest collection/project,The MuscoviteS, she credits her russian images and infuences along with her view of effortless chic. In her own words: “This collection has been inspired by my native city,the way i know it and love it. So Moscow comes undone in my collection. My Muscovites have inherited ingenious and ironic treasure of experience left by the brightest minds of the constructivism epoh,such as Kostantin Melnikov,Moisei Ginzburg, Vesnin,Eisestein.New MuscoviteS are challengin,bold,even audacious. But still,they are open-hearted,eager for knowledge and intelligent. So i am happy to intoduce these friends of mine,the MuscoviteS as i see them”
Sounds ambitious indeed.But in terms of pattern design and innovative look, we can safely say there’s one designer to watch,so we’ll stay tuned. After all,Italian’s cant be wrong by inviting Masha Kravtsova to Milan fashion Week.So we’ll also stay tuned.
