– at NY Fashion Week

Marija Shatilo debuted her much-anticipated clothing line at the 2018 New York Fashion Week. Titled Lace & Angels, Shatilo showcased her new line of haute couture dresses on Friday, September 7th at the S’zen at the Hotel on Rivington. It was an impressive range of elegant and fashionable dresses for women of all ages suitable for a variety of occasions.

Shatilo has long confirmed that her new fashion line would be inspired by her favorite style icons. These included personalities such as Yves Saint Laurent, Azzedine Alaia, Balmain, Elie Saab, Alberta Ferretti, amongst others. You can also see the 90s Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel influences – another two of her personal style icons – reflected in her designs as well.

She also channeled an exotic fusion of fashion and culture in how she presented her new collection. Her gorgeous dresses were beautifully draped on multicolored mannequins painted by her boyfriend, contemporary artist Domingo Zapata. They were then displayed throughout the S’zen lounge for fashion enthusiasts and industry experts to view at their leisure.

Shatilo’s collection featured a range of styles, fabrics, and colors. These included V-necks and V-back dresses, long gowns and short dresses, long-sleeves and strapless. Fabric choices consisted of high-quality lace, silk, satin, cotton, and chiffon with a few sequins included. For color options, she offered champagne, nudes, navy, ivory, and black.

You could also see hints of gold, silver, and rose peeking through in this exquisite collection. Marija Shatilo clearly wanted to provide a variety of options to suit each of our own unique tastes in clothing. We could see that anyone could find a Lace and Angels dress that perfectly suited their personality.

Shatilo notes that part of the inspiration for her debut collection stems from her desire to satisfy the taste of women of all age groups. They want to dress well for special occasions and feel good about themselves when they do so. And that’s just a few of the goals her designs seemed to have met.

The Lace & Angels pre-collection at the NY Fashion Week featured 15 dresses in total but with six of them previewing at the show. The designs were for high-end special events such as the red-carpet, weddings, cocktails, and black-tie dinners or galas. In keeping with her desire to make dresses suitable for all women, each dress came with a variety of color variations and ranged in size from XS to XL. She indicated that the dresses were also fully customizable.

You’ll soon be able to purchase these dresses online. Shatilo is in the process of launching her website – www.laceandangels.com. Her dresses are also available at select fashion boutiques in Manhattan, Soho, and Miami.

NY Fashion Week 2018 was just a start for the former international top model now turned designer. Shatilo expects to continue expanding her clientele and offer custom design services for special occasions. She plans to make her dresses more accessible through pop-up shops, and open additional stores in Miami, New York, and Los Angeles.
