A Krasnodar native, Nekrasova has been producing garments since 2010, launched her first boutique “Realno” in 2013, started up her own school of design and fashion in Krasnodar in 2017 and throughout has managed to remain subversive and wild at what she does.
One of the constant themes in Nekrasova’s work has been the work of the Athens sculptor Leochares, who lived and produced his work in the 4th century BC, but this was far from a stately classical show - UK grime and Azealia Banks provided the soundtrack for the show, and in fact the only things that reminded one of Greek classical art was a 3D rendering of Leochares’s work in the background of the stage and the theatrical cardboard masks the models wore on the runway today.
These bore an image of the eyes or the face of a sculpture of a Greek youth, and were so large in size that they created a very unusual shape to the silhouettes we saw. As for the garments themselves, we saw a lot of classical in those as well - silk and wool numbers, free and flowing shapes, oversized sleeves (as if from an antique theatre costume), and busts models carried underarm.
But this was a collection by a young Russian designer, so a little modernism was unavoidable - skirts with abstract scribble art and high leather heels spiced up this avant-garde collection.
