Graceful fashion models, wrapped in something light, elegant and very cozy, glide smoothly along the catwalk. Seemingly ordinary trousers, skirts and dresses, when combined with each other, create a feeling of mystery and some very harmonious naturalness.
Liliya Kiselenko, perhaps the most extraordinary and unpredictable designer of the St. Petersburg fashion world, also presents new collections from time to time. Lilia is a participant in many shows in many cities, including Moscow and Paris, and is the winner of the “Best Designer of the Year” prize from the government of St. Petersburg.
Discreet and cool fashion
Clothes from Kiselenko are sold in the main department stores of St. Petersburg, and in Moscow boutiques, and in the center of Budapest. The designer's models are extremely popular, although she does not try to please everyone. Her fashion is restrained, cold, completely devoid of pretentiousness and extravagance, as if it had absorbed the spirit of St. Petersburg, its strict grace and clear precision of lines.
After all, each designer, in essence, creates his own fashion, in tune with his inner world and ideas about the outside. Of course, there are some trends that determine the general mood, but lately they have become less and less tangible and significant. The artist’s personality comes to the fore, and the more unusual and rich it is, the more original the models he creates.
Today's catwalks, as a rule, are replete with an abundance of various tinsel, shimmering with the shine of fake stones and sparkling finishes. Lilia Kiselenko's collections are usually calm and laconic, refreshing, like a breath of clean air. Their deceptive and by no means unambiguous simplicity attracts attention, because it is so easy to amaze or even shock the viewer with a huge number of embroideries, draperies, flowers and feathers piled on top of each other. But attracting his attention with the almost complete absence of decorative “enticements” is much more difficult. Liliya Kiselenko succeeds in this.
The main thing is to be comfortable
And the secret is quite simple - she is not indifferent to those for whom she works. For her, the main thing is that a woman should be comfortable in her clothes:
- sit at work;
- to drive a car;
- walk around the city;
- just lie on the couch.
But it is comfortable clothes that look beautiful, because a woman moves gracefully in them. Designer Liliya Kiselenko has a remarkable ability to dress in such a way that the woman comes to the fore, and not what she is wearing. And not everyone succeeds in this.
Calm straight silhouette
So what does she offer for the modern woman, what style is closest to her and what, in her opinion, will delight us in the coming year? A calm, elongated, slightly wider or straight silhouette runs through her latest collections. The volumes are small, the lines are smooth.
Almost complete absence of details, but very high quality exquisite fabrics. Preference is given to natural fibers; artificial ones are rarely used, only if it is necessary to achieve an effect that cannot be achieved with natural ones, for example, glass transparency or matte metallic luster.
Favorite range:
- long, mysteriously enveloping dresses;
- flowy wide-leg trousers;
- straight or slightly flared skirts;
- very simple yet sophisticated blouses.
No extremes such as excessive femininity or too aggressive masculinity. A style of free, casual romance.

Extraordinary softness
A small touch - there are almost no usual classic jackets. According to the designer, their rigid design hinders movement and creates inconvenience. All collections are distinguished by their extraordinary plasticity. You don’t want to put on clothes, but to wrap yourself up.

There is almost no mini length, as well as super-tight silhouettes. The sensitive author does not want a woman to feel discomfort, drawing the attention of others to her not very slender legs or not quite ideal figure.

The most comfortable suit, according to Liliya Kiselenko, for a modern woman is a soft jumper, wide trousers or a loose skirt and a jacket-blouse or vest on top. And only comfortable shoes, because comfortable means beautiful.
