Petar Petrov Spring 2010

The diver­sity and in rare cases eccen­tric­ity found in beauty and the trans­for­ma­tion of those ideals inspired Petar Petrov’s lat­est col­lec­tion. Embod­ied in the strong per­son­al­ity of his cast­ing, the spring col­lec­tion rep­re­sents a nat­ural flu­id­ity. The range does not rely on gim­micks, but builds on an easy­go­ing sense of char­ac­ter. Light and airy, sheer neu­tral based tanks rep­re­sent an inno­cence and feel­ing of bare­ness that stands in great con­trast to the collection’s darker, more intense pieces. Safety and grim solace are found in Petrov’s mono­chro­matic black gar­ments, while a bold and fiery pas­sion is brought to the sur­face with the collection’s red trousers and infre­quent splat­ters of blood. Despite Petrov’s use of black and red, atten­tion is often drawn back to the collection’s most hon­est pieces – the heav­enly mix of white, light gray, aqua and green. It is in those pieces that Petrov’s desire to cap­ture beauty at ease is best achieved. At large, Petar Petrov’s efforts result in an intel­li­gent col­lec­tion that pro­vides the nat­ural sil­hou­ette, while the admirer is suited with the task of inter­ject­ing into it their own identity.
