Katya Leonovich utilized a vast array of techniques in this Spring 2014 collection. Some looks had bold printed effects while others showcased a variety of ways to work with leather in a garment-patchwork, lacing or pleating. A lot of the looks gave off the impression of being fashionably disheveled, or a bit unkempt, but still being chic. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but there was a bit of disorder with the pieces and it really worked. This is not to say the looks weren’t polished or constructed well, but rather a direct intent to not have complete order. I enjoyed the spark of imagination and creative ingenuity that this collection’s energy gave off. There were a lot of great pieces and here are some of them!
