As you all know Im now working for TellUsFashion, which is one and only Online Global Fashion Marketplace for up and coming/established designers to create more exposure and awareness for themselves. The one designer that Im abslutely raving about it right now is Ekaterina Kukhareva. I really believe that her designs are incredible! I wanted to create a feature about Ekaterina and her Brand so here it is:
Designer Name: Ekaterina Kukhareva
Brand: Ekaterina Kukhareva
Type of Design: Knitwear Garments
Inspiration: Ekaterina’s signature style and inspiration is drawn from her Russian roots as well as the world’s history. She is particularly moved and intrigued by queens of previous eras. Ekaterina enjoys the enormous spectrum about queens that is left to the beholders eye; as we can only learn so much about a queen’s lifestyle and culture from delivered artefacts such as: books, paintings, films and museums. However a lot about their characters and beings is left to our imagination! The brand’s aim is to create timeless and high quality pieces with the emphasis on the beauty of the female body and the elegance and sexiness of the collection wearer.
Notes on Ekaterina: Ekaterina Kukhareva is a Ukrainian born designer based in London. Ekaterina has graduated from the prestigious Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design with a degree in Textiles specialising in knitwear. Since her first year of college she has pursued different options and quickly developed a love for textile design. She admires the endless possibilities of knitting techniques and combinations! It is the weight, structure and shape that form the knitted fabric. In her collections the emphasis is on the following techniques: macramé, fringing, knotting, crochet, beading etc. The knitwear fabric itself combines the unique structure combinations and carefully sourced yarns from all over the World. Therefore the collections are made from scratch: starting with the yarn sourcing and finished with beautiful hand-made details.
