Evgenia Jivkova shares:”My spring-summer collection is called “A woman with character”. My clothes are directed to the contemporary woman – elegant, but also professionally realized; attractive, but also with social self-confidence; tender with a will and a character to achieve her objectives in her work and in her clearly human realization. Some part of the clothes is influenced from the emblematical spirit of the new elegance from the end of 50s and from the beginning of 60s. This is my view to the woman in this season, dressed from “Jeni Style”.
The collection is composed of 65 clothes, distributed in different reciprocally related themes. The silhouette of the outer garments is freer. Together with this are kept also the tailored classic coats, but their lengths easily decrease. The sleeves are with ¾ length; some of them are with frills and nervures in the shoulder and the so-called sleeves-balloon. Some part of the dresses and the skirts are with flounces, frills, box pleats and so-called “balloon”, made in several variants. The frills in the waist and in the high part of the dresses are characteristic. The trousers keep the past silhouette – straight, flared with normal and with 7/8 length. The shorts are also actual.
The official theme in the collection “A woman with character” includes dresses, tailored with flounces and volume in the under part; frills under the bust and around the waist. The length is in three variations: around the knee, to the middle of the calf and reaching the floor.
The fashion news of the season is big collars with frills, more volumetric and loose coats, wide using of the frills in all the clothes, the metallic materials and the variety of textile effects.
Original details of the collection are collars and lapel in neckline, ¾ sleeves and sleeves with volume in the under part or the so-called “bouffant” sleeve, slits and creases of the coats, externally sewed up, big studs. Patterns are with decorative spots and floral motifs.
The colors of the season are red, cyclamen, turquoise blue, lilac, white, black, blue, reseda, metallic – gold, silver and bronze nuances. The materials are various: effect creased batiste, complex structured materials with metal threads, materials with beads and sequins, raw silk, silk chiffon, embroideries, patchwork, linen, lace and knitwear.
One of the leading top models of “Visages Model Group” has shown themselves at the fashion platform. A model of the collection again was Ralica Baleva. The hairstyles were a work of a team of Todor Toshev, and the make-up created the team of Kiril Chalakov.
