Kristina Fidelskaya launches Resort SS 2019 collection

These images from Kristina Fidelskaya showcasing her recently launched Resort SS 2019 ready-to-wear collection provide a breath of sweeping breeze to ease the current heatwave we are experiencing in the UK and many parts of Europe.

The elongated yet chic silhouette in earthy colours against an arid landscape of sand dunes and parched land reflect a feminine statement with a monastic asceticism.

The colour palette draws from Piero Manzoni’s Achromes to explore the transparent yet immutable presence of natural elements, according to the Dubai-based designer.

The palette of blond sand and sand stone, offset by vegetable tones, tobacco brown and sage green, along with onyx and ocean blue are echoed in a textural feast of washed canvas and evanescent parachute silk, technical poplin and Garza crepe, raw cotton and viscose twill.

Though elegantly refined, there is a sense of carefree sensibility about the collection, with a note of nomadic charm, seemingly striding aimlessly across the desert landscape.

The stylishly oversized tailoring and billowing shapes allow an urban look, appropriate for city lifestyles.

Robust drawstrings and contrast piping hint of references from the sportswear wardrobe.

Note the equally carefree rustic slides and ready-to-move on sack-bags to carry the look.
