Zhivago – seen on Paris Hilton, Madonna, the Jenners, Lady Gaga and more –is known for pushing the boundaries of fashion with fearless creativity. Its latest collection, Mechanical Dolls, stays in character as well. Inspired by the cinematic brilliance of Blade Runner, this line-up masterfully merges sci-fi dystopia with unapologetic glamour.
The Mechanical Dolls palette pulses with life, showcasing deep khaki, moody gunmetal, and scorched moss, alongside neon camouflage hues that burst from the Blade Runner dreamscape. Both the 1982 film Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 are popular movies set in a dystopian future.
The fabric choices only heighten the collection’s futuristic vibe. Bold fur accents, stoned mesh, and aqueous jersey fabrics create a tactile adventure that embraces both softness and edge.
The standout was most certainly the Chameleon Mood Sequin which is a shape-shifting, environment-reactive fabric that feels like something out of a sci-fi fantasy. That is paired with sequined camouflage and boucle, and the result is undeniably daring as well as seductive.
The Australian brand has taken its signature stitched satin to a whole new level, while the mesh overlays and fetish-inspired stockings add a rebellious edge. These pieces revisit the brand’s archives, with silhouettes that first made waves in the 2014 Equilibrium runway show.
Oversized shoulder ruffles and dramatic, floor-sweeping faux fur coats bring pure red carpet drama, and let’s not forget those bold Z belt buckles.
The silhouettes are simply fierce. The brand’s iconic strong shoulders and plunging necklines are back, paired with sharp, tailored suiting that oozes confidence.
From form-fitting mini dresses to flared jumpsuits and red carpet-worthy gowns, each piece is crafted to accentuate the body, turning anyone into a futuristic femme fatale.
“This collection is a fearless leap into the unknown, a bold exploration of what fashion can be when we dare to dream. Inspired by the cinematic genius of Blade Runner, ‘Mechanical Dolls’ is our ode to the future, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy dissolve into pure, electrifying style,” Lara Kovacevich, Creative Director of Zhivago said.
Zhivagos Mechanical Dolls collection is an audacious leap into the future, where sci-fi meets high fashion with unapologetic flair.
