Ulyana Sergeenko refers to the times of Slavic paganism and mythology. Characters ancient epic – witch-siren birds, sinister snake – got a new reading and embodied in the image of the strong, the femme fatale. Muse collection as if descended from pictures of Helmut Newton and Steven Meisel, whose models have always looked tempting and power. Sexy silhouette, clean lines waist and shoulders.

The main reasons for the collection – paganism, folklore, as well as the mysterious beauty of Russian forests. Elements of magical rites reflected on fabrics, embroidered with beads in the form of drops of water and blood. Rough necklaces, earrings and medallions of chicken legs with bells inspired witch charms. Pagan symbol of the Serpent, according to legend endowed with barrier properties, runs through the whole collection.

Related folklore aesthetic codes reproduced on fabric and materials. The image of the treacherous temptress with a minimalist spirit of the instrument to the supermodels of the 90s.
