Peter Petrov’s Fall Collection: A Study in Aerodynamics
When one thinks of Peter Petrov’s latest collection, it’s not just the aviator caps and Amelia Earhart references that come to mind. The narrow, aerodynamic line he pursued for fall is truly captivating.
Petrov’s background in menswear shines through in his work, where the precious meets the pragmatic. Each piece in his collection is designed with both style and wearability in mind. Take, for example, a dress that is as easy to wear as a T-shirt but twists and torques in a unique way when on the body. This innovative design is Petrov’s response to the current trend of body-conscious fashion.
While some pieces are sleek and slim, Petrov also introduces a number of “generous” pieces to provide contrast. One standout piece is a pair of trousers with creases and pleats that create a slightly asymmetric silhouette. Paired with an aviator jacket crafted from lightweight leather and detailed with smocking at the waist, the look is both edgy and sophisticated.
Adding an unexpected twist to the collection, Petrov includes a selection of jeans cut from unwashed Japanese denim, including a unique cocoa brown pair. These jeans perfectly embody the balance of preciousness and pragmatism that defines Petrov’s designs.
