Ladies Who Lunch: Katya Leonovich Fall 2014!

Experimentation and innovation are key words when describing the work of designer Katya Leonovich.  For Katya Leonovich Fall 2014, her collection once again proved this true.

Metallic fabrics and architectural construction gave the Katya Leonovich Fall 2014 collection a futuristic edge while at the same time evoking a 1960’s mod feeling.

Katya Leonovich even created her own woven fabric for the Fall 2014 Collection, an exclusive touch to a collection that reminds us that Katya Leonovich is not just a designer, but she is first and foremost an artist.
