20-year-old Anna Karenina debuted her Fall '16 "Guest From the Future" collection at NYFW [1], full of intergalactic statement pieces that her "stranger space girl" would take to the streets. After the young designer's success at Kiev Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week four years ago, the recognition of the industry's top influencers helped her land a career-changing spot at London Fashion Week. Now, she's ready to take on NYC.
Her show fired off with cloud-white pieces, decorated with solar-system brooches. The clothing is inspired by childlike playfulness: sweet baby prints, fiery plaids, and her signature space eyes and ears. The runway's space girls brought back the single-ribbon earring and wore adorning chain-link necklaces and long scarves, which dragged behind like meteor tails. But then the theme got an edgy touch from leather separates, which the model-turned-designer wore to take her bow. Anna also collaborated with footwear brand Giannico on the perfect moonwalking shoe, adding casualness to her adorable looks with trendy slip-ons and rocket-studded sneakers. Read on to see why Anna K is the popular new label you're about to fall in love with.
