More Dash Showroom – by Sophie Joy Wright

Dear Diane and Shaded Viewers, 

MORE DASH Showroom is run by the beautiful Daria Shapovalova, who works incredibly hard to continually promote young Ukrainian designers, like Yasya Minochkinan and Anton Belinskiy. 

Yasya Minochkinan drew upon clear sportswear references to design her SS15 collection, though managed to keep it girly and playful in her use of colour and print. Yasya clearly has a keen interest in textile innovation but doesn't let this overtake her designs, as they remain very well constructed but unassuming. A delight to see.

Simple ties were a key feature Anton Belinskiy's work, both decorative and functional, as both sweet bows and suggestive of a straitjacket. The oversimplified Mondrian-like colours and the stylised hand-print were also distinct but not unwearable. I hadn't heard of Anton before I came to More Dash, but his collection really impressed me.
