METRIKA By Galina Drozd – Spring/Summer 2016

Galina Drodz is the recent winner of the European Fashion Talent Design Competition, which is held in Serbia. This designer is obviously inspired by Givenchy's most significant modern period of the house's era of Alexander McQueen. In her work there are respectful tips of the hat to the irrepressible style of the French grand couturier Stéphane Rolland.

St. Petersburg, Russia – Russian designer Galina Drozd presented her new collection for her Metrika line at the St. Petersburg Fashion Week to the applause of a very appreciative crowd. In it we see a fanciful and feminine work that includes solid pieces mixed in with the overt domination of very vivid prints. It has overwhelmingly sophisticated cuts and dazzling details such as cutouts in the coats and trousers and long angular forms.

Galina Drozd is the recent winner of the European Fashion Talent Design Competition. Held in Serbia, she won its first edition. In becoming so she beat out young designers and talented last year fashion students from all over the globe to take first prize.

This designer is obviously inspired by Givenchy’s most significant modern period of the house’s era of Alexander McQueen. And of course there are some obvious tips of the hat to the irrepressible style of the French grand couturier Stéphane Rolland.

We find legging style pants that make the collection youthful. Semi large sleeves have been included in the tunic inspired top. And though this writer is not in love with the majority of the shorts in the collection (due to the fact that I have a preference for the more sophisticated pieces), there is a silhouette or two with them that is extremely exciting, as they are made more sophisticated when compared to the others.
