Ukrainian designer Switlana Bavza of Label Bewza did the work of early 20th century artist Kazimir Malevich in his mind. Malevich was reverence for his Avant Garde Abstract Art, who focused on the sanctity of the square, in later years, in a wheat field, the young women were turned to more rhetorical abstraction like a painting of 1932. (Unlike popular belief, or really my college art history classes, Malevich was a Kiv-birth Ukrainian-No Russian.) Bewza is certainly an abstract idolatrier, and its work is attracted to the purity of the same line and shape, and its chic, meditation, linear spring is no one more than the linear spring 2026 collection. It was shown in an sun -filled industrial building in West Chelsea, with its palettes and blacks of carrots red, deep naval and most soft, vice versa with butter yellow.
“Malevich was the father of modernity,” said Bavza. “They used the square, and this is the place where I started while cutting this collection. It is a very stable shape, but it does not look aggressive on the body because it is the wearer and their personality that shapes any fabric.” He certainly manipulated his creps, bamboo jersey and dense cotton well. An inventive and skillful zipard was a square top/skirt (it can be worn in any way, and is a rare example of the passion of so many designers, this NYFW with placing class flat versions on a woman’s body – and it is actually working); Fluid jersey dresses with such hardness for the control of the fabric (Hussain is good from behind during the day, and I absolutely mean that as a great praise); And geometric-collar shirts are worn with long cuboid-player skirts.
Of course, the duration of the art of Malevich – the future of geometry for the very cerebral sentimentality of his subsequent work – is also a sign of a large picture of Bewza’s life, which he has, due to the war on Ukraine, has been living in London with his children since 2023 and recently her husband, and you can also feel the arc in this collection. It was thought to make the power to make, and the connection is felt for the scenario of someone’s motherland.
WheatSheaf has long been associated with Ukraine, and the jewel of Baywza has used it as a lamotiff, which has been adopted by Ukrainian migrants as a symbol, which is in the form of a mark of solidarity and memory. In this season, Bewza coated it as a single strand necklace, or as a more decency, as a face mask. She can tell you in the most humble words about the challenges of her team in Ukraine that working and working together and communicating, and in detail, how to make fashion can be a practice in dignity and disregard. So much that she will open her first store in Kiev later this year. For any designer working for nearly 20 years, this is a historical moment, but for Bewza and his team, who are undergoing unimaginable daily challenges, it is not less than a complete victory.
