Romanian Fashion Week: Andreea Musat

The Romanian Fashion Days (8-9 May) staged thirty collections of Romanian designers destined for the fall/winter 2008/09 season. Six new names made their debut and one of them took the Mercedes Benz prize home. This was Andreea Musat with her wonderful "Winter Moods" collection. Andreea Musat fall/winter 2008/09 Andreea Musat fall/winter 2008/09 The collection was inspired by Jadis, the White Witch from the "Chronicles of Narnia" series as well as by her performer, always fascinating Tilda Swinton. Hence, the collection's main character is a timeless and mysterious woman, a mix between classic femininity and futuristic androgynous beauty.

The result is an architectural silhouette like born of snow dunes and frost flowers. I love the message they send out: a glimpse of what's hidden under the ice, the mystery slightly unveiled...
