The restrained forms of the 1960s USSR — the age of modernism, physicists and poets. Purity of line, functionality.
In this collection Ulyana Sergeenko departed from her usual dramatic theatricality, working instead in the restrained, austere forms of 1960s Soviet style and design — the age of modernism, of “physicists and poets.” Drawing on the designer's parents' memories of an era of scientific optimism, the collection celebrated purity of line and function.
Even so, the House's characteristic sense of luxury remained, carried by outerwear — mink, fox and inlaid karakul coats — that stood in vivid contrast to the collection's restrained dresses.
