We're
delighted to present Ksenia Schnaider's AW13 collection, Bodywarmer. Inspired
by the quilted cotton winter garment of the Soviet Union, Schnaider has
injected style into the functionality of the warmer through her dark colour
palette and use of leather, velvet and silk.
Presenting
her SS13 collection with Fashion Scout in February, the designer exhibited
alongside eight other Ukrainian designers as a part of our Kiev Fashion Days.
Founded in 2011, the Ksenia Schnaider brand aesthetic is an innovative one that
not only edges on the avant-garde, but strives to give space and freedom for
the wearer to express their personal beliefs.
