Anna Bolina Grows Up

February 14, 2024

This season, Anna Bolina knew how to cater to her audience, showing her leather-sculpted collection in a fog-filled, seemingly never-ending Brooklyn warehouse. Naturally, people were smoking inside. “It feels like we’re in the backrooms,” remarked one guest.

Never one to do what’s expected, Anna ditched the traditional catwalk in favor of an X-shaped platform with mirrors at each end, making for less of a runway show and more of a tableau-style performance — each model took a few seconds to admire themselves and blow kisses at their reflection. The collection was a little darker than last season’s — less neons and impact-font slogans, more jewel tone monochromatic looks sans graphics. Could we be seeing a maturing of the Anna Bolina image? Further establishing herself as a designer to watch, has Anna learned that she no longer needs to spell it out? Staying true to her roots in club fashion and silhouettes reminiscent of brutalist architecture, the newer collection still echoes her familiar slogan: "Do whatever you want. No one gives a fuck."
