Russian Cool

Kova & T

Meet Dasha and Kristina.  They’re gorgeous, well-connected and ridiculously rich.

Dasha (Zhukova; hence Kova) is the daughter of a wealthy oligarch, and girlfriend to an even wealthier one, Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea FC.  Her design partner Kristina (Tang) is an L.A. native and the daughter of Shanghai Tang mogul, David Tang.

Since their launch last year, Kova & T are cooking up a storm and selling in over 70 stores around the world, including Harvey Nichols.  

The collection is a mix between sexy and sporty with tight jeans, high-waisted shorts, latex leggings and prim sweaters.  Highly-charged and much-hyped.

Forget those images of nouveau-riche Russians as a flashy crowd splashing money on ‘bling’ everything.  

Kova & T is the new roskosh*.      

Go to kovaandt.com to see more.  Available at Harvey Nichols, and online on cultistshop.com.
