The Bite Magazine - Spring 2016 - Issue 15

Wanderlust Inspired by the story of a girl who suffers from wanderlust, Dawn Hunt admires Sabinna’s SS16 collection. K nown for its innovative and creative knitwear, SABINNA is a recently new ready-to- wear label developed by the talented Sabinna Rachimova and her business partner, David Reischer. Born in Russia, but raised in Austria, this petite designer has taken on the fashion world with her delicate and whimsical designs that prove not all fashion-for- ward pieces need be harsh or aggressively structural. Having debut her first collection at London FashionWeek in February 2015, her sweet and quirky clothes were met with delight as they offered a lighter style aesthetic to take into consideration as opposed to the habitual dark and heavy options for autumn/winter.This sense of whimsy has luckily carried over into her current SS16 collection - and from what I hear, her AW16 collection is also gor- geous - featuring a clean and crisp white line-up. After receiving her degree at the pres- tigious Central Saint Martins in London, Sabinna took her fashion knowledge to work and earned a place at the coveted Parisian fashion house Christian Dior bitefashion SABINNA Photography by Lilla Nyeki 12 14
