The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2022 - Issue 31

bitecatwalk AADNEVIK L uxury London-based brand Aadnevik, founded by designer duo Hila and Kristian Aadnevik, is internationally renowned for its powerfully feminine designs and refined craftsmanship. Growing up with a designer father exposed the young Hila to design, patterns, leather, embellishments and a variety of handmade craftsmanship. Kristian be- gan with a technical background in tailoring before graduating with an MA in Fashion Womenswear at the Royal College of Art in London. The designers create a concept blending ready- to-wear with couture and seasonal collections with a made-to-measure service for clients who visit the atelier worldwide. They develop unique hand- crafted production techniques where the patterns are built on the body, working with natural effemi- nate shapes, contrasting sharp cuts, soft layering, and drapes. The duo fuse alluring shades, luxury leathers, French lace and lavish embellishments to evoke powerful sensuality. Hila and Kristian’s beautiful romantic vision sees the light and dark inseparable. Their muse is ro- bust, seductive and accessible, yet fragile, soft and loving, and their essence is driven by tradi- tion, craftsmanship, passion, nature, and hard work. The SS22 featured designs like the couture hand-beaded French nude lace mini dress with layered tulle and braided leather. The sky blue French lace bustier gown has braided leather de- tails, and one of my favourite designs is the green silk chiffon gown with French lace bustier and braided leather details. After seeing the collection, it’s unsurprising that Aadnevik has a loyal global following. Celebrities including Rihanna, Beyoncé, Kaia Gerber, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Jourdan Dunn, Cara Delev- ingne, Adriana Lima, and Karolina Kurková have worn their designs. www.aadnevik.com FASHION WEEK LONDON Spring/Summer 2022
