Taking inspiration from the influences and goddesses of ancient Slavic culture, “Slavic Chic” gracefully connects the threads of time. This exquisite collection intertwines the traditional craftsmanship of Slavic artisans—evident in delicate lace, crochet, and intricate knitwork—with a contemporary touch, embodying the grace and sophistication of the modern woman.

Reminiscent of a goddess, “Slavic Chic” embodies purity and radiance that is beautifully expressed through the collection’s textures and soft color scheme. The subtle neutrals, combined with bold touches of black, cream, and mushroom brown, create a simple yet romantic visual experience, akin to an untouched canvas. To honor the brand’s heritage, the iconic rose symbol is elegantly integrated throughout the collection. Whether as delicate prints, meticulous embellishments, or intricate 3D renditions, the rose continues to serve as a symbol of the brand’s essence.

The collection celebrates the power of femininity, specifically focusing on accentuating the hips through the elegant bell- shaped dresses and stylish cinched-waist leather coats. The fluid silhouettes of these garments not only make them unique but also effortlessly wearable, perfectly combining ease and style. The collection exudes a feeling of weightlessness, all thanks to airy cotton poplin dresses and innovative tailoring in stretchy jersey wool. However, at its core lies the collaboration with Heven, led by glass-blowing duo Breanna Box & Peter Dupon. This sentiment gave rise to “The Glass Dress”—a gossamer mousseline marvel adorned with a dew-kissed glass rose, bridging Heven’s craftsmanship with the symbolic resonance of the rose. In the words of Magda Butrym, “Slavic Chic is more than just fashion; it’s a narrative of dreams, simplicity, and authenticity. It’s our heritage reborn in modern form.”
