The After Eight collection by Emina Štrkljević is a continuation and evolution of the recognizable retro style of the Chicks on Chic brand. Emina brings a collection that redefines elegance intended for evening outings and holiday parties, while at the same time allowing each piece to be styled separately and in more casual combinations. The designer, known for her careful selection of materials with interesting textures, this time expresses herself in cotton satin, a particularly dense and shiny version of cotton weaving, delicate stretchy meshes lined with viscose jersey for maximum comfort, cotton, wool and brocade.
In an interesting and relaxed way, she also styles her clothing pieces, which she complements with powerful jewelry from the Little Wonder brand and clutch leather bags by designer Mirjam Krajina. The collection is designed as an extremely feminine game that does not slave to strict aesthetics, but exudes the charm of some more relaxed times that most people sigh nostalgically for.
The central pieces of the collection are maxi dresses, which at first glance seem minimalistic, but thanks to decent cut interventions and the choice of materials, they become unique pieces of clothing. Each dress is practical, wearable, but at the same time a statement piece. There are also chic cotton satin pants that easily complement both elegant evening and everyday combinations. Transparent tops, turtlenecks and dresses made of viscose jersey are definitely it pieces of the After Eight collection.
