THE COLLECTION
PUFF ME UP — WHERE CUTE GETS COUTURE AND STRENGTH MEETS FUN. For this new collection, Cukovy envisioned a slightly more mysterious autumn/winter season; everything emerges from the image of a landscape suspended between frozen branches and blurred shadows. As suggested by the prints, playfulness is reinterpreted here in a more enigmatic way. All-over floral patterns have evolved from previous collections into smudges and traces, camouflaged and reshaped by light and snow. This is a more sensory world, meant to evoke a feeling of suspension and an intriguing elegance between frost and rebirth. This romantic, dreamlike, and natural realm marks a new chapter for Cukovy, where functionality dresses itself in silent mystery and each volume tells a story of metamorphosis. Volume, softness, and play lie at the center of the brand’s sensorial narrative. Cukovy embodies the ability to expand and transform, embracing not only bold outerwear but also underlayer pieces that envelop the body through overlapping and layering. Through processes of deconstruction and reconstruction, garments evolve into new forms, exploring customizable combinations and inviting the wearer to interact and play with them. The result is a more provocative and distinctive spirit, while still maintaining the tenderness of a cocoon-like aesthetic that conveys the image of a warm embrace, wrapping the body both physically and emotionally.
