INTRODUCING: DELADA

Lada Komarova has always been mesmerized by art – be it modern or contemporary – specifically because it allows the one who enjoys it to discover a different world from the reality they experience. A woman with an original sense of style she often used to create original outfits for herself before deciding to launch her own line. Former owner and manager of a contemporary art gallery and co-founder of the Contemporary Art Fund ARTiculate, today Komarova curates her own brand Delada, inspired by her background in contemporary art and reflecting her personal passion for the art world. What sets her and her company apart in terms of creativity is the fact that she creates fashion garments that she treats just like art objects: aesthetically beautiful and flattering that combine outstanding quality and artistic ability to mesmerize; each new collection represents an interpretation of a new artistic theme or artist.

For her Autumn/Winter ’14/15 collection it was artist Chris Ofili, whose intensely coloured and intricately ornamented paintings gave him international recognition, who inspired a collection artisanal, elegant and modern with ethnically-inspired details, textures and prints.

Seductive silhouettes comprised from classic garments balance perfectly between two extremes: menswear-inspired ensembles and utterly feminine dresses, pencil skirts and coat-dresses. Fabrics are soft and cozy, ideal to take you from autumn to winter and are enriched by fine textures such as silk, wool, velvet and tweed, Napa leather and fringe details that give the garments a folklore vibe. The color palette is limited and sticks primarily to colors blue, black and red occasionally distracted by strict black and white prints. Statement accessories like gold bangles and earrings, that will be available to purchase soon, decorative leather belts, piping and necklaces finish off the looks.

The Delada woman appreciates fitted clothing that flatters her figure and makes her enjoy a touch of luxury and stand out. Komarova’s collection is proof that beautifully tailored clothes make a complete outfit that needs no further accessorizing. Her pieces have distinct character highly reminiscent of the Parisian allure and sophistication. Her aim is to continue delivering luxurious, beautiful clothes to women who are looking for that something special to wear, while expanding into other areas such as home wear, accessories and children’s clothing.
