Russian born designer Yelena Konovalova has brought us Cut-It-Out, a collection of jersey pieces covered in intricate patterns. Heavily inspired by Russian folklore, the designer created each pattern using a process of cutting and folding paper. The look is very reminiscent of those preschool, homemade snowflakes from my child hood. Three seasons in and Cut-It-Out has remained consistent in its aesthetic…which I figured could get old quick… yet it manages to breathe new life into their signature patterns using bold, new color palettes.
The current collection features some really fun separates including hoodies, leggings, and tunics. The standout piece however is the blazing red, over sized, button down sweater…easy to wear over jeans in the winter and while I’m not one to usually forgo pants and do that whole “hey look at me I’m wearing a really long shirt and calling it a dress” look…I think this piece would be perfect all by itself in the spring.
