Sholokhov as a statement on female strength and sisterhood. Cossack shirts, tiered skirts, boots on a hidden platform.
Inspired by Mikhail Sholokhov's epic novel And Quiet Flows the Don, the collection was an artistic statement on female strength and sisterhood, carried through the looks on the runway. Alongside the show, the collection was told that season as a story in a short film directed by Ellen von Unwerth, in which the heroine appeared in looks that referenced folk Cossack dress — full white shirts, tiered taffeta skirts and rough boots on a hidden platform.
The Paris show unfolded more like a dramatic theatrical narrative, staged at the Théâtre Marigny; a select audience saw the collection again at a special presentation held as part of the Naked Heart Foundation's “Love Arabia Ball” in Doha.
The collection's singularity was underscored by its collaborations: the legendary corsetry house Cadolle created Ulyana Sergeenko's debut lingerie line, while the celebrated milliner Stephen Jones designed lace-embroidered balaclavas and masks.
