Twelve Ss and a Golden T. Spring/Summer 2008

Lena Karin for Karin&Gorelik.

Twelve Ss and a Golden T

This is the most frivolous and provocative collection ever created by the Fashion House. It was dedicated to the First Odessa Holiday Fashion Week.

The entire collection is inspired by funny stories from Odessa, its beaches, promiscuous resort affairs and, to be sure, features quotes from classics: this time from novels by Ilf and Petrov.

Phrases and prints featured on the clothes take chaotic turns – from simple sketches to intricate photo collages. All items in the collection are implemented in the same monochrome range of colors characteristic of the brand.

There is a series of glamour versions of Ellochka the Cannibal and con man Ostap Bender wrapped in silk dresses and striped printed scarves.

Flax pants and dissolute sundresses are a direct reference to a summertime party at a cafe by the sea.
