Designer Spotlight: Ulyana Sergeenko

Darlings, CC is so excited to introduce you to Designer Ulyana Sergeenko.
Here are some looks from her Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Collection.

Here's a bit about the Designer:




Although Ulyana Sergeenko has a degree in philology she was always


interested in fashion paying close attention to her appearance and style.


Indulging her interest in design throughout the years she has developed


a vast collection of haute couture, vintage and antique clothes admiring


quality, craftsmanship and artistic value. Initially her love for all things fashion


lead her to the photography as a perfect media for expressing her artistic


vision. From this point she started to be not only an admirer but participant


of fashion process taking an active part in the creation of fashion images as


a photographer and stylist. Though Ulyana loves and appreciates works of


many designers she always wanted to create something that would be an


essence of her personal style. Eventually all this lead to the creation of her


debut collection that she presented in Moscow in April 2011. Consisting of


34 looks this collection has all the signature elements of Ulyana's style: floor-


length chiffon gowns, astrakhan fur coats, rose-printed full skirts and hilarious


puffed shoes. Actually a lot of the clothes in which Ulyana has been captured


for the various magazines and streetstyle blogs are from her first collection.


The collection was featured in a lot of Russian magazines such as Vogue,


Harpers Bazaar, L'Officiel, Tatler, Glamour etc. As for the inspirations - it


could be anything from a film by Visconti or Fellini to a Soviet school uniform,


from old cartoons to patriotic mosaics on the walls of Moscow underground


stations or antique French wooden screens painted in flowers, etc.
Merry Christmas to all!
