Popovitch uses deconstruction and technical detail in everyday fabrics, in an austere silhouette reminiscent of the early 1940's but with elements of Edwardian corsetry and 80s grunge. Unlike grunge, however, Popovitch's palette is rich and lively; her Spring 2005 Collection includes saturated turquoise, deep plum, and variations on a black/stark white theme. Burning and slashing, her pieces often reveal surprising textures peeping through the garment. The result is a Catwoman-esque sleek with an earthy sex appeal.
