PFW Spring/Summer 2017 – Poustovit, Poustovit x TAGO, Ksenia Schnaider

Entrance to cocktail party at Showroom PLC

Comfortably settled in my office in NY, it’s hard to believe that I was in Paris for Paris Fashion Week (PFW) earlier this month yet looking through the photos I can’t believe that it wasn’t just yesterday. Miss it! So before the coming hectic season of holiday preparations, sales(esp. Black Friday and Cyber Monday!) and events, join me for the next few days (maybe week) as I recap some of my fave shows/events that I attended during PFW.

For me, PFW started(the day I arrived in Paris!) with a private cocktail party at Showroom PLC Paris to celebrate and discover three Ukrainian RTW brands: Poustovit, Poustovit x TAGO, Ksenia Schnaider. The top photo was my view as I approached the showroom.

Previously unfamiliar with these brands/designers, I was surprised and impressed, and became their newest fan!

See below for the designers and collections:

Poustovit

The Poustovit collection for Spring/Summer ’17 was confident and strong as well as elegantly feminine. Flowy silhouettes and delicate/youthful prints were balanced with sporty-chic details.

Obsessed with the surprise pleat detail on the back of this trench coat.

This dress needs a place in my closet! Love its fusion of girly and sophisticated.

Poustovit x TAGO

A collaboration between Poustovit and another amazing Ukrainian designer, TAGO, this collection is chic streetwear at its best. Deconstructed elements were contrasted and enhanced by luxurious detail as well as more conservative styles.

I especially loved the jackets in this collaboration.

Ksenia Schnaider

Progressive and unique, Ksenia Schnaider for Spring/Summer ’17 was flowy and feminine as well as unexpectedly edgy due to their deconstructed denim looks.

Loved the whimsy of their prints, especially the cherries, and the velvet trim on the collars and wrist.
