St. Petersburg, Russia – The new Spring/Summer 2016 collection by Russian designer Mila Markina is crafted in pressed cottons. The little jersey that is found in the garments appears in micro-cropped tops that sometimes fail to fully cover the bottom of the bust. However there are really nice origami-like appliqués found throughout the work. They serve to add a depth of personality to the pieces.
There is a silhouette of cotton jeans and another of green hot pants worn with a little top. Olive, white and off-white are the colors in this movement. With the addition of the sportswear-oriented pieces that include jersey tops and matching pants, we have a very strong sense of simple consistency.
Mila Markina has made sure that each piece is well cut and well put together. She has also been quite successful in making us desire more of her jumpsuits and hot pants sets during the season. She has designed them with simple and appealing cuts. She adds printed linings in the coats. One even includes a nice wool cape.
In the end Mila Markina spoils us with a work that is feminine, practical and wearable.
