Working process of Lenka Padysakova's SAVOIR VIVRE collection.


20's Fashion Today (Design: Lenka Padysakova)
..
Beautiful dresses and pearls, high heels, stockings with seams, red lipstick and expensive perfume could be the logo written behind the name Lenka Padysakova.
Autumn/winter 08/09 SAVOIR VIVRE collection (first slide show) uses restricted wartime shapes and exaggerates them, using the playful, bright colours of the Edwardian era. Oversized, double layered rounded sleeves juxtapose against the frugal 40’s aesthetic.
Each outfit is designed to place the reins of femininity and individualism into the hands of the wearer. This collection is designed for the woman who is not afraid to show her gentle side, safe in the knowledge of her own strength and confidence.
