Magda Butrym: A Decade of High Fashion
Last November marked a significant milestone for Magda Butrym as she celebrated the 10th anniversary of her eponymous brand. In the years since, she has continued to make waves in the fashion industry, with notable appearances on red carpets and late-night television, showcasing her signature padded-hip designs. Some recent standout moments include Renée Zellweger in a stunning off-the-shoulder black hourglass dress at the Gotham Awards, Natalie Portman dazzling in a cherry red minidress on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Imaan Hammam turning heads at the Met Gala in a sculptural white custom suit.
In addition to these star-studded moments, Butrym’s collaboration with H&M in April was a huge success, with products nearly selling out within hours of launch. It’s clear that her unique aesthetic and attention to detail have garnered widespread acclaim.
For her latest collection, Butrym delves into nostalgia with a nod to ’80s silhouettes. Strong shouldered trenches, cropped blazers, faux fur coats, and leather bombers are paired with body-con dresses and delicate lingerie pieces adorned with handmade lace. Handmade crochet details pay homage to the brand’s Slavic roots, while floral knitwear and denims add a modern touch.
One of the standout features of this collection is Butrym’s use of wire to abstract petals into intricate bodices and dresses. These pieces strike a perfect balance between elegance and wearability, showcasing the designer’s craftsmanship and creativity.
Adapting to the current climate, Butrym introduces “daily statement wear” with leg-centric silhouettes and innovative styling options. From semi-sheer tights worn as trousers to draped jersey dresses and covetable coats in luxurious materials, the collection offers a range of versatile and eye-catching pieces.
Looking ahead, Butrym has her sights set on the future, with plans to showcase her designs on the Paris runway for fall. Additionally, she aims to open her first international store in New York, further solidifying her brand’s global presence. With a strong focus on innovation and quality, Magda Butrym is poised to continue making a mark in the world of high fashion.
