Backstage with Ukrainian models
Mar 24, 2011 at 23:24 | Kyiv PostFor six days, Ukrainian designers and guests from Germany, Georgia and Belarus preached new trends for the coming autumn and winter seasons in Mystetsky Arsenal museum.
The commotion backstage resembled a beehive. Dozens of models competed for space, mirrors, make-up artists, and simply air, which smelled of hairspray and perfume.
Jittery backstage, they looked emotionless, confident and cold on the catwalk . For some of them it was a debut, while for others a regular working day.
Nearly 50 designers presented new collections. Some of them stayed loyal to their customary colors and styles: Poustovit charmed with deep colors, Vozianov and Litkovskaya plunged into complex, multi-layered garments, and Anna Bublik presented another sensual and feminine collection.
There were surprises as well: along with smoky eyes, Podolyan made his models wear smoky hair, while Alexey Zalevskiy planted twigs in his models’ coiffure.
