Poustovit "Autumn-Winter 2017/18" show at Ukrainian Fashion Week
Ukrainian Fashion Week, according to a well-established tradition, began with a defile of Poustovit brand models. If Lilia Pustovit (photo above) devoted her previous show to the theme of feminism, then the autumn-winter collection of 2017 was clearly anti-militarist.
Communicating with reporters, Lilia said that she was inspired to create new images by French women who lived in the post-war era of the last century, who replaced the harsh soldier's uniforms withsensuality and grace elegant outfits.
The main outfits that distinguish the post-war fashion of the last century - gray, black and brown long bodycon dresses, kimono robes and V-neck blouses - Lilia Pustovit revived with faux bouquets and bright orange laces on massive boots.
Floral sketches in muted tones, the designer also decorated Poustovit shirt dresses, which are loved by the consumer. This season they have become much longer (they cover the calves to the middle) and have been supplemented with new, sometimes unexpected attributes: appliqués, puff sleeves and leather straps.
Bad weather did not stop Lilia Pustovit's fans: among the guests of the show there were many representatives of the Ukrainian beau monde.
