Polish designer Magda Butrym presented her collection on New York runways for the first time. Named “Natalia”, the spring-summer 2027 collection also accompanies the opening of the house’s first flagship store in New York, in SoHo. Its name refers to the Polish artist Natalia LL, whose work explores femininity, desire and the nature of the gaze.
For the new season, the designer continues her exploration of femininity through contrasts. The discipline of masculine tailoring sits alongside transparency, lace and lingerie-inspired silhouettes. Strong shoulders on suits and trench coats structure the figure, while almost weightless dresses and transparent layers bring greater lightness. A leather jacket contrasts with a mermaid-like second-skin dress, underlining the sensuality characteristic of Butrym’s world.
A black trench coat with marked shoulders reveals sheer fabrics and lace details. Leather covered in metallic foil, fitted leather elements and feathers lend the silhouettes a sharper, more audacious edge. Yet the collection retains the romantic dimension particular to the designer’s aesthetic. Floral motifs recalling wallpaper and pieces embellished with crochet details evoke Magda Butrym’s memories, especially of women who always took care to dress elegantly, even at home. This affection for spectacular clothes is reflected in the image the designer calls her “Slavic Marilyn”.
Evening looks unfold in bedroom-inspired shades of white and tea beige. Clean jumpsuits, lace tops and lingerie-like details turn the intimacy of daily life into a genuine fashion gesture. Some pieces conceal rose petals in their pockets, a symbol that becomes one of the collection’s most striking details. Roses also appear on the runway, transformed into a veritable floral carpet. The staging refers to the tradition of the Polish town of Spycimierz, where large floral compositions are made for Corpus Christi. The Polish theme continues through silhouettes recalling the Warsaw Mermaid, a figure that has become one of the capital’s symbols.
