From Russia With Love

Vika (Viktoria) Gazinskaya is fashion designer and stylist by trade, hailing from Moscow. Since her label launch in 2006, her chic-ness is frequently photographed and featured on many fashion blogging sites, including The Sartorialist and Jak N Jil. Her work is best described as a mix of futuristic minimalism, playful lines and contemporary timelessness. Most of her garments are hand made; as she believes that modern luxury lies "in minute attention to detail and with a large use of handwork in true Couture spirit". She won my heart when she cites Cristobal Balenciaga as one of her most-admired designer and inspiration.
