ON BEING TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER DIMENSION…
Although Fyodor Podgorny and Golan Frydman described their Autumn/Winter collection as being inspired by ’Russian peasants, tzars and insects’, for me, it was more about taking such earthly influences and transporting them to another dimension. Surely, there’s nothing natural or human about a woman that’s seemingly composed solely from green glitter?
Backstage the space was calm but meticulous. Green eyeshadow hinted at tones in the jewelry and alluded to the feathered martian-like creature I’d later meet. The hair was carefully braided into the most elaborate formations I’ve ever seen – like sci-fi crowns that rested on the back of the head.
Despite having an early peek at the collection backstage, in no way was I prepared for what was unleashed. It was the duo’s first time showing On Schedule after having won the Fashion Fringe prize. They’ve worked with designers including Richard Nicoll, Alexander McQueen, Raf Simons and Issey Miyake. While it might be clear that these names have influenced their designs, it’s undeniable that the vision driving the brand is clearly their own. It was the only show of the day that left me wanting to dance in my seat and, at the same time, gave me goosebumps…

Massive thanks to Susie and TRACE Publicity for having me backstage.
Ohh, the twisted hairstyle is truly the prettiest ever. Gorgeous!

W-O-W. What a showing! Thanks for sharing your excellent photography and report. Loving the backstage action. What is that green, iridescent material that the necklace’s are made from. Feathers? I’ve got to have one; and the red dress that model Svetlana wore. Going to be keeping a much closer eye on Fyodor Golan.
Hi Sara! Sorry for the delay, I just found out they are made from beetle shells! xx
This is seriously one of my favorite posts, I can’t stop looking at it! The model covered in glitter is just spectacular
Hope the rest of fashion week is just as exciting!
Stunning pictures! I’m definitely seeing the insect theme, not really sure where the peasants and tzars fit in though! x
I am in LOVE with the green creature
entire collection and everything they did is amazing. Its been a long time since some collection gave me goose bumps. maybe its just the green glitter 
OMG these photos are INSANE!! I so wish I’d requested a ticket now!! Can definitely see some McQueen at work in there but it all looks really new, something we haven’t seen before a runway
