Lena Hoschek goes Russian Folklore

At this year’s Berlin Fashion Week Lena Hoschek really showed us her edgy side! Her much loved flower prints and petticoats were paired with heavy boots and broke tights. This way, she emphazied both the soft and the tough side of women. The Frida-Kahlo-hairdos of the models were just enchanting. A feast for the eyes was also the great variety of the material such as brocade, lace, satin and velvet. Additionally, the collection showed a Russian influence; the traditional folkloristic patterns were mixed with the sexy, glamourous cuts that the designer is known for. My favourite pieces were a red velvet dress, the evening gowns with deep necklines showing the back and the embroidered blouses. Some of the looks after the jump.

Berlin Fashion Week – Spring/Summer 2010 – Review Part 1

The shows of Lena Hoschek und Smeilinener were a mixture of exactly my taste and style, that’s why they were so much fun for me during the Berlin Fashion Week.
