For spring, Nehera’s Ladislav Zdút and group remained to check out the styles they introduced earlier this year in both their males’s collection (Balaton, aka the Lake of Swans, a prominent getaway in Hungary) and fall ready-to-wear (ballet). “The mood is extremely loosened up on one hand, originating from the ambience of the summer season resort– slow, careless, hot,” the chief executive officer clarified. “But on the other hand, as a contrast, we are also [conveying] something [like] the feeling of distress, like the renewal or dilemma. For example, what is very, really intriguing is that anytime the communist regimes felt somehow unpredictable, they place on television Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake or something comparable.”
The darker mood was tough to discern in this very easy collection which featured soft, roomy tailoring and numerous rather dresses. A long tank-style stimulated out-of-office feelings while shorter designs, consisting of one in a lively red that referenced the bright swim inflatables from Balaton back then, featured dangling banners that added a feeling of airiness, which was the primary style of the period all at once.
