In Aldo Coppola salon at the cash register you can always find all sorts of accessories at exorbitant price. And suddenly – these beautiful felt flowers with its correct design and excellent performance. I even wrote down the name: Flower Me. Later I met the founder of the brand Ivlyana Makienko and her mother, the designer, Natalia Marchenko – Ivlyana found me by herself, gave me a call and sent me her flower. Three season in a row on Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia after my recommendation to support mother and her daughter with a show-room – and now brooches and headbands Flower Me are not only in all magazines, not only all fashion victims bloggers are wearing them, but also they are in a stunning collaboration with Tatiana Parfionova. The finest handmade, craft secrets, the latest technology, old tools of XVIII-XIX centuries and exclusive fabrics. I saw a lot of artificial flowers – expensive, Parisians, couture. I can state it with certainty that these silk flowers by Ivlyana and Natalia – are real little masterpieces, which often surpass exquisite French samples.
Ivlyana writes: “The necklace for Evelina was made out of cashmere handmade flowers with embroidery. Vintage element of the necklace – is a silver chain, that we lately bought at Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.”
