From what I can gather, this is Kapustina’s first fashion week here in the US. She’s quietly found her way into the closets of plenty of celebs, but isn’t quite well-known. Which is a shame, because she does some really cute stuff. I managed to score a few pics of her show earlier this week.

From the front this dress looked pretty simple, but the back is just ah-mayz-ing. It looks like jersey, too, which I haven’t seen a lot of designers do this season. I personally like jersey because it’s insanely easy to care for and generally falls just right on you.

There is no way this dress isn’t going to end up in a magazine somewhere. It’s a really pretty design, although I hate horizontal stripes. Unless you’re totally fit, they look horrid. (psst check out the nude pumps on whoever is on the font row!)

This is one of my favorites. I love the shoes. And the pink floral pattern isn’t something from a grandmother’s closet. Great cut, with the skinny belt we’ve been seeing a lot of (are we done with big wide belts?)

Another flowy jersey look. This dress is kind of eh, although I enjoy fabric manipulation, it’s an overdone look. The sunglasses are great and yet another headscarf.

Boiled down: I haven’t been able to find shots of the whole collection anywhere, but these (courtesy of the designer) look pretty promising. It seems like the same theme we’ve been seeing everywhere: headscarves, tropical island colors with muted bases and some fabric manipulation. I can definitely see why stars like Olga, her work is nice. I think she’s still growing, which is perfectly fine, and I look forward to more of her stuff.
