Masha Popova presents fantasy collection built from imagined travel remnants
Ukrainian designer Masha Popova presented her Spring 2027 Ready-to-Wear collection at Studio Smithfield while working inside a fashion residency program.
Collection inspired by non-existent travel
Popova stated she did not have the chance to visit any physical locations for this season. The designer described the line as a fantasy of escape created from imagined remnants instead of real materials.
Textiles mimic environmental elements
Specific garments featured errant sand creating new textiles and saltwater restructuring silhouettes within the designs. One piece captured the silhouette of someone taking a photograph while another mimicked marks left by wet swimsuits.
Construction techniques focus on stitching
The Ukrainian designer hoped to push herself more on construction during this project. A shiny bomber jacket had its front, back, and sleeve formed from a single component determined through dense lines of stitching.
