Ekaterina Kukhareva - Undercover Queen

Spring Summer 2010 - Undercover Queen



As we come to the end of an Autumn Winter season dominated by chunky cable knits, oversized boyfriend cardigans and sloppy 'grunge' inspired jumpers - all of which I have succumbed to with open arms - it is so refreshing to come across Ekaterina Kukhareva's Spring Summer collection - Undercover Queen.

This high-end, sexy-chic knitwear collection takes it's inspiration from a mythological Egypt, ancient Queen Cleopatra and the techniques used by designers Herve Leger and Azzedine Alaia.

Each beautifully hand-crafted piece in the collection can take Kukhareva up to seven days to construct, including two days to make the fabric.  Traditional techniques of macrame, fringing and crochet have been used with opulent embellishment to create timeless pieces for strong, sensual, modern women.
