designer to watch: vika gazinskaya

If you follow LRW on Instagram, (give that baby a follow!) you may have noticed a fun blue and white shirt from Russian designer Vika Gazinskaya. Two weeks ago, I had never heard of her. But I read a blog post about her on Man Repeller and I was immediately intrigued. However, all of her clothes are little works of art, and cost more than a couple months' rent for me...

Just sooo pretty and feminine in a non-obvious way, right!? Well, I was also excited to find out that she's collaborated with the online retailer & other stories in a gorgeous, affordable ready to wear collection.

If could have anything, I would take those trousers and that off the shoulder swiss dot top home with me.

(PS- she's a vegetarian and never uses fur or leather in her work; these pieces are all cotton)

Friend, what do you think??
