Designer Profile: Agnieszka Swiatly

Whoa, I just found this great Polish designer and I totally have to share. She uses a really unusually combination of materials; latex, shantung silk, grosgrain ribbon and painstaking draping to create unique pieces that are modern, feminine, and a little bit out there. Just the way I like stuff!

I’m really blown away by this silk and latex dress. It’s one part grecian goddess, one part dominatrix, and still somehow totally wearable. This isn’t really a shape that I would have known in advance that I would like, as the volume around the hips is pretty heavy, but the skinniness of the latex below balances the whole thing out.

This gown is so fluid and elegant, it’s just begging to be taken someplace special. I’m not usually a fan of such billowy styles, but the sheen on the fabric looks so seamless and unbroken that I really get why she didn’t want to break up the lines of the dress.

This pencil skirt is so luxurious, I really can’t believe that it’s only $70. The detail work along the waistband is extraordinary!
