In an ode to sustainable design and the brand&#39;s roots, her designs feature rustic handcrafted details and accents of terracotta, turmeric and sky blue.

A grounded feeling was the emotion that Katya Silchenko, creator of the iconic The Coat brand, wanted to embody in her latest release. The <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/hommes/look-sporty-sexy-man-spring-summer-2023-photo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spring/summer 2023</a> collection was created in <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/art/banksy-ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ukraine</a> despite the ongoing war and was showcased at Copenhagen Fashion Week , becoming a hopeful and tender personal note from its designer.

The launch was inspired by ceramics and therefore offers simple, flowing silhouettes , as well as plenty of rustic, handmade details such as tassels, crochet and weaving. Colour is present in the collection, accentuating terracotta, turmeric and sky blue. The confetti print was custom created in an Italian factory, using water-based printing technology.
The famous pottery from Opisna, a small town in the Ukraine known for its unique handmade clay pots, is an essential reference for this collection. Hence the flowing hourglass silhouettes that we can see in her designs, an earthy colour palette and an abundance of handmade elements, such as mini crochet bags and tassels.

&laquo; I wanted to present a modern, elevated and refreshed take on traditional Ukrainian dress, without direct quotes or an old-fashioned approach. Our voluminous floaty dress resembles a traditional vyshyvanka shirt dress, and the knitted cardigan is a reference to the Carpathian hutsul costume. Other than that, our brand is staying true to its feminine, smart and sexy self , &rdquo; says Katya.

The collection includes several iconic styles for the brand, such as the aforementioned hourglass silhouette dresses and corsets. A memorable confetti print dots slip dresses , matching ensembles and organza trenches. This pattern is also a celebration of green technology with a minimum consumption of water, energy and chemical substances.
Accessories like shopper bags and <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/art/history-hip-hop-genre-music-singers-style-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bucket hats</a> also come in the same print for the perfect look . The mini clay jar necklaces are the key <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/bulgari-mediterranea-show-high-jewellery-venice-photos-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">jewellery</a> pieces that complement the tailoring part of the collection.
