SA FASHION WEEK REVIEW: VESSELINA PENTCHEVA
Her new summer collection for spring/summer 2011 was inspired by a painting of Frida Kahlo. Vesselina Pentcheva is an amazing designer, she really understands a women's body and what she craves for. Her intuitive flair that she combines the skill and artistry of traditional craftsmanship with up to the minute design, creating clothes for women who want to look sexy. Vesselina Pentcheva continues to be very feminine, using soft materials like, cotton and silk, alot of lace was the main feature of the range but my eyes were glued on to the half black and white dresses. Most impressive is the embroidery made on one look, which is sampled from the beautiful mesh that grandmothers of Vesselina gave her for her wedding. The collection was feminine with floral headpieces with different shades colour. Black and white formed the colour palette of the entire range. South Africans need to support our local fashion designers. We truly have talented designers.
