Masha Reva, Part II

So: Masha Reva. This girl has skills. Not only has she graduated with an MA since we last saw her, but she's also interned for Thakoon, had a huge amount of (well deserved) press, has created a line of shoes featuring heels with prints made from her drawings, and put together this capsule collection specifically for a concept store called Atelier 1 in Kiev. I was just going to post still photos of some of the pieces (as I'm not a huge fan of the ruffles), but this video is too wonderfully edited to not put up. I generally can mentally picture what something would look like on me or how I would style it, but I would never have guessed that these pieces could be so convertible (and take on a life of their own). If you go to Masha's website or NJAL page, you can see a video for her graduate collection too (pictured below), if you're interested in seeing the pieces' details and movement as well.

In true Edmontonian fashion, we've skipped right over Spring and gone straight to Summer. So the coats  by Masha Reva pictured below aren't exactly matching the weather, but I love them just as much as the more springy pieces above. Masha is a student in her final year at the University of Technology and Design in Kiyv, Ukraine. These pieces are from Masha's capsule collection designed especially for a concept store called PURE in Kiyv. Imagine that - she hasn't even completed her graduate collection, and she's already designing specifically for stores!

And this is a photo taken from Masha's website, with her designs whimsically hanging from the trees. If I had a large yard, or any yard at all, this is what it would look like on laundry day. Guess I need a pair of scissors to harvest those dry clothes. Wouldn't want them to over ripen and fall onto the ground.
