A favourite at Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Days Anna October
is already an international hit being stocked in Antwerp as well as in Paris.
Her Fashion Scout runway debut yesterday created a buzz with everyone talking
about her use of materials and amazing metallic textures. Fashion Scout spoke
to Anna about showcasing at this international platform.
You’ve used amazing
materials in your collection, how did this come about?
I’m using a lot of shimmer and very tactile materials
because I’m making classical feminine silhouettes but in combination with these modern materials with some added plastic details that are changing colours with
the fringing so it becomes more modern and futuristic.
Is there a story that
you’re trying to tell with this collection?
Yes, the inspiration for this collection was the tradition
of giving presents. The title of the collection is actually “Present” and the
idea of gift giving as well as in the present time. I wanted to express the
present time of aesthetics.
How do you combine
feminine shapes with strong textures?
In general the heroine of my brand, the girl as I see as my
muse, she is a young lady but she is also very sophisticated.
How have you found it
presenting your work in the Fashion Scout venue?
It’s amazing; I like this experience so much. It almost
feels like school for me because I’ve been learning so much, I love London.
