Nina Skarra draws inspiration from childhood memories of her
mother and grandmother as her personal style icons, their rebellious
youthfulness and their wardrobe of their time. She develops her designs using
her personal inspirations along with Scandinavian design and craftsmanship to
create a collection of “refined glamour” for Spring/Summer 2013.
Using hues of blush pinks, ivory, silver, and sky blue with
punches of natural earth tones, the collection was a reflection of pure
serenity. An important component in Nina Skarra’s design is using quality fabrics
and a sustainable production process, which I find commendable whenever a
designer chooses eco-friendly designs.
I appreciate the simplicity of minimalism but with a touch
of glamour, not through glitz and frills but through amazing design and body
flattering silhouettes and indeed Nina Skarra accomplishes such a delicate feat
to balance clean lines with a touch of glamour.
