Since the birth of her son in October 2021, Nanushka founder and creative director Sandra Sandor has been transported back to her own childhood in Hungary in the '90s, after the fall of the Iron Curtain, when her father wore suits of denim and sportswear. . Before that time, Sandor's family could not travel out of the country, but rather into the countryside, where memories of the shepherds were channeled into outerwear, such as the bonded and extruded sheepskin motorcycle jacket. (Nanushka works with sustainable faux fur made from recycled polyester.)
“When I got the first [fashion] Influence from abroad, it was in the 90s, from fashion magazines. That had a big impact on me,” Sandor said.
She made a black one-shoulder crop top and paired it with a long double-faced silk skirt with a “stained graffiti” print in rust, black, yellow and ecru. There was a reversible shearling vest, which included Nanushka's signature alternative leather, Okobor.
Sandor also offered her own take on the classic tweed dress, instead using textured wool with alternative leather trim. A tailored jacket came with crochet lapels.
In terms of silhouette, the line had linear shapes, maxi and mini stories, cutouts, especially in outerwear, and thin straps. She has a long-standing penchant for earth tones, such as yellows and chartreuses, with a pop of blue and lime this season.
“This whole '90s aesthetic, definitely minimalism, is reflected in the collection,” he said. “It's the 90s through the eyes of a Hungarian teenager. All these influences merge.”
