Vilshenko Dresses

With wedding season upon us and our calendars booked with all sorts of social engagements, finding the right dress to suit them all can prove challenging – not so with this 'Sofia' style by Vilshenko. Intricately embroidered with polka dots and folkloric blooms, the weightless cotton-voile fabric renders it light enough to wear in warmer weather - but the long sleeves and calf-skimming hem are ideal for when fall arrives.

Olga Vilshenko grew up in Western Russia – a region made up of mountains, rivers and forests – and so it perfectly explains the folkloric twist in each of her designs. This 'Bolce' dress is made from silk and patterned with colorful, blooming peonies. Define its loose, kimono-like shape with the optional waist tie.

Self-taught before refining her skills at fashion schools in her native Russia and adoptive London, Olga Vilshenko draws inspiration from the unique garments that she, as a child, watched her mother create. Folkloric and luxurious, the Sofia dress captures the designer’s unique point of view.
