Origin: USA
Fabric: Silk, Cotton Lace
Brand: Evgenia
A unique silk and lace slip constructed entirely from reclaimed vintage textiles, and based mostly on pieces of early 20th century damaged petticoats. Patterned rayon ribbon forms the shoulder straps, with original 1920s silk ribbonwork rosettes embellishing the slip’s skirt.
The Evgenia brand began in 2011 under the name ‘Honey Cooler Handmade’, initially specialising in one-of-a-kind lingerie pieces that utilised the technique of insertion lace appliqué. After rebranding as Evgenia, the label continued with its lace appliqué techniques in full collections rather than individual garments. Designer Stephanie Bodnar studied Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in California, USA. She was a designer in residence at the Fashion Incubator program at Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco from 2014-15, and is now based in a studio in West Marin.
