From Moscow with Love
Russian-born designer Marina Makaron spent her life living, working and studying from Moscow to London to Paris and Philadelphia. Her collection recently showed at Philadelphia Fashion Week. Makaron attended Drexel University in fashion design. She later studied at the London School of Economics and at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. It was not until the conclusion of her second dissertation that her creative calling kicked in and her passion for design called to her. With a nod to her Eastern-European roots, Makaron began experimenting with basic Russian imagery and folklore depictions. Makaron created a silk collection - fusing within its dappled patterns the nostalgia of times past, the style sensibilities of the present and the global attitudes of the future.
