Historical Train-Inspired Runways

The Ulyana Sergeenko Spring 2014 Couture Show Takes Us On a Ride

For the fourth year showing at Couture Week, the Ulyana Sergeenko Spring 2014 Couture collection took everyone on a ride with cinched waists and silky fabrics. According to the designer, the inspiration for the collection came from a trip on the Orient Express. Such an inspiration should conjure up images of immense vintage glamour and the occasional murder mystery.

Low-cut and high-waisted designs are an unfaltering theme in this Ulyana Sergeenko Spring 2014 Couture collection. Body-conscious corsets are mixed with long skirts or slim pants to make a perfectly tailored and consistently cohesive collection. To continue with the theme, the models' hair was styled to look like they were attendants on the legendary locomotive; pulled back and slightly wavy hair was given little round Asian-inspired hats.
