# Exaggerated Voluminous Fashion The Vika Gazinskaya S/S 2013 Collection is Littered with Ruffles By Katie Pagnotta | Published 2013-01-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vika-gazinskaya-ss-2013 References: [trendland](http://trendland.com/from-russia-with-love-vika-gazinskaya-ss-2013/) & [vikagazinskaya.tumblr](http://vikagazinskaya.tumblr.com/) The Vika Gazinskaya S/S 2013 collection is a culmination of outlandish silhouettes and shapes. Vika is Russia's answer to fashion. She is a strong woman with a stern sense and direction. Her designs are bold, her collections are cohesive and her pieces are one-of-a-kind. Her [Spring/Summer 2013 series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026) is littered with [organic forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection), absurd ruffle details and crafty patterns. Highlights from the collection include, the peplum dresses with ruffles above the waist and at the hemline, an orange mini-dress with a layered prairie design and [whimsical cloud prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) found on several of the garments. Her looks are severe and her technique is profound. Vika is a self-claimed perfectionist and her work is an extension of this. The Vika Gazinskaya Spring/Summer 2013 collection is futuristic, feminine and a breathtaking take on Russian fashion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Exaggerated Voluminous Fashion:** Opportunities for designers to explore bold and playful shapes in their fashion collections. - **Crafty Patterned Apparel:** New demand for unique, organic prints and patterns in fashion design. - **Prairie-inspired Fashion:** Potential for designers to create layered and ruffled dresses inspired by prairie fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Explore the use of organic shapes, patterns, and ruffles in apparel design. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Increased demand for unique fabrics with playful patterns and bold textures. - **Online Retail:** Online retailers can cater to the demand for exaggerated voluminous fashion by offering limited edition collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Bright Color-Based Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Effortlessly Elegant Womenswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-springsummer-2024.md) - [Provocative Pre-Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-2-camp.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md)
