Anna Pitchouguina Makes Autumn/Winter 15/16 Cosy!

August 7, 2015August 7, 2015by zaychishka2 Comments

Anna Pitchouguina’s not constrained by the usual colours range designers opt for in the autumn and winter months. In fact the East London based fashion designer’s collection mixes electric blues, yellows, and greens with muted tones of navy, grey –and a show stopping silver cocktail dress. The autumn/ winter 15/16 season from Pitchouguina plays on the word cosy, as the made in London garments are contrived of soft linens, and warming wools. You’ll also notice that the collection plays with texture, and hand stitched details. Hands down this collection is something to covet.

Update: Pitchouguina’s Whimsical SS 2015 Collection

August 29, 2014August 29, 2014by zaychishka6 Comments

Privet Matryoshka’s! Pitchouguina’s latest collection for Spring Summer 2015 is for the whimsical girl. It’s playful, and looks so comfortable. Pitchouguina’s collections often draw inspiration from every day moments, and the little ‘things that can easily go unnoticed’. What I love the most when I look at the details of the collection are- well first let me say that each one of these pieces are so beautiful, and feminine and I can honestly picture seeing someone wearing any one of these on a romantic walk, out with friends, to even belonging to a girl who is a summer time jetsetter. I also adore her use of a soft and clean colour palette with pinks, whites and blues. Pitchouguina has also put her own twist on stripes- they aren’t overbearing, which stripes can be notorious for, instead this re-imagined take on the classic trend is subtle.

Zaychishka’s Interview With The Fashion Designer Anna Pitchouguina “She Is A Dreamer, Definitely A Dreamer”

April 25, 2014April 17, 2015by zaychishka10 Comments

Youthfulness, simple shapes, and awkward moments come to life in Anna Pitchouguina’s collections that have been gaining popularity since the launch of her brand in August 2013. The Russian Fashion Designer who was raised in Poland gets most of her inspiration from everyday moments, moods and scenes. In her latest Autumn-Winter 2014/15 collection melancholy adorns each garment. Think of lone foot steps in the snow, and trees mourning over the loss of their leaves; A haunting image straight out of the Picturesque Russian landscape in the dead of winter. Recently Anna Pitchouguina let me ask her a few questions, where she discussed what it was like behind the scenes at this years Aurora Fashion Week ( for her, and her team), to her love of fabrics, and of course why she is so drawn towards everything awkward, and how it became a leading muse for the Pitchouguina brand. The Interview is included below. Continue reading “Zaychishka’s Interview With The Fashion Designer Anna Pitchouguina “She Is A Dreamer, Definitely A Dreamer”” →

Pitchouguina is a brand based on emotions, specifically awkward behaviours, and dreamy attitudes. For Autumn-Winter 2014/15 Pitchouguina’s collection revolved around naked tree’s, and foot prints left in the snow resembling a melancholic mood.
