With Resort '26, creative director Alina Balykina returns to the intimate landscape of personal memory — summers spent by the river with her grandmother, her first muse and the woman who shaped her sense of beauty, femininity, and the aesthetics of everyday life.
Countryside summer
The collection continues the philosophy at the heart of BALYKINA — creating pieces for a life worth celebrating, again and again — but this time reframes it through the atmosphere of a countryside summer: long walks, dinners in the garden, dancing barefoot, morning coffee in a sensuous dress, and the art of turning ordinary moments into personal rituals.
The palette reads like fragments of that summer by the river — garden petals, morning sky, scorched sunsets, ripe berries, antique roses, and the warm flush of skin after a day in the sun. Voluminous handmade flowers, delicate draping, and architectural cuts in 100% pure silk, velvet, shantung taffeta, and lace build a soft, living silhouette around the body.
Almost as couture
Many pieces were made almost as couture — through meticulous attention to form, texture, and fit, where the fabric does not simply drape, but comes alive in motion.
This is a collection about a woman who escapes to the countryside to slow down, to dream, and to feel alive again — among sunlight on skin, garden shadows, and the atmosphere of an old riverside estate.
