LONDON, April 29, 2010 - Zinaida Likhacheva, a Ukrainian designer and artist, will
present her original collection at the Style Show, the opening event of
Oxford Fashion Week 2010 on May 1, 2010. This is the first time that Oxford
Fashion Week features a designer from Ukraine. Ms. Likhacheva will present
her debut SUNLIGHT Collection, an artful synthesis of ETHNO and MODERN. The
Sunlight Collection promises to be an outstanding experience: ethnic motifs,
modern cuts, natural materials and colors, hand-made embroidery, and mystic
geometric elements. What makes these cutting-edge designs stand out are their
enigmatic SLAVIC SYMBOLS.
"I'm very excited to have an opportunity to show-case fashion
design from Ukraine," Zinaida Likhacheva told OFW. "Under the NASHE FASHION
brand, I combine thousand-year-old Ukrainian art traditions, mystical Slavic
geometries, color and decorative patterns with modern fashion trends to make
smart casual outfits for woman that stand apart from the humdrum."
The GEOMETRIC cut of the clothing adds mystery, rhythm and
energy. The SUNLIGHT Collection is modern ethnic chic with an urban beat. The
entire range, including dresses and skirts, draws together female energy and
allows any woman wearing it to radiate warmth and light, and move in a
harmonious symphony of COLOR, LINE and RHYTHM.
"Having thoroughly studied the symbols in Ukrainian
embroidery, I have come to the conclusion that the mystic art of my ancestors
will appeal to a new generation," said Zinaida Likhacheva. "It will become
their talisman, a never-ending link between the past, present and future."
Zinaida Likhacheva is an artist, designer and the originator
of this Collection's concept. The SUNLIGHT designs are a logical continuation
of her work as an artist with decorative patterns, embroidery, painting on
cloth and ceramics, decorative ironwork, and contemporary ethnic fashion. To
develop the SUNLIGHT Collection, Ms. Likhacheva worked with the young
designer and Slavic mythology expert Letitsia Kovaliova.
Over 100 collections are being presented at Oxford Fashion
Week, from established High Street brands to up-and-coming graduates of the
London College of Fashion, from award-winning young photographers to famous
names in the fashion press, from lingerie designs endorsed by royalty to high
fashion endorsed by celebrities.
