Ana Ljubinković is an up-and-coming Serbian designer whose collection was displayed in London Fashion Week as part of Belgrade Fashion Week’s International Fashion Showcase; an exhibition of the three best visionary designers from Serbia.
Inspired by a dreamlike surrealism, Ana uses bright pastel and candy colours, stripes and polka dots to let us into the fairy tale world of her imagination.
The outfits are characterised by bold silhouettes forming bubble shoulders, tight waists and pop-out hips. These clean lines are mirrored by the love heart necklines and swirly hemming and layering.
Although incredibly fresh and modern, there are elements of traditional blended in. Victorian-style prints of cherubs are patterned alongside creamy pearls. Deer heads are also used as print, framed with pink and yellow roses. One of the most original and dream like aspects to the collection were the vivid deer head shoes. Removed from their normal themes, these traditional objects intensify the dream like surrealism, as well as adding a sense luxury to the fun pieces.
