Summer is in full-swing, and for some of us, our warm-weather wardrobes are feeling stale. A dosage of fresh and unique style is necessary to get through this mid-summer fashion crisis. Luckily, two new brands have recently made their mark on the fashion world, offering unique bohemian styles that feel fresh and one-of-a-kind. Both Vita Kin and Dodo-Bar OR are brands that specialize in traditional-inspired frocks, re-worked in modern ways. Vita Kin is the designer behind her Ukrainian clothing line which makes pieces reminiscent to the traditional costume of her country (called, “vyshyvanka”). With one-of-a-kind embroidery and an easy kaftan silhouette, it is exactly what you want to throw on for a day exploring on vacation, to a beach and even to drinks and dinner. Dorit Baror is the designer behind the brand Dodo Bar- OR. With Middle-Eastern roots, Baror created a line inspired by Yemeni culture. Loose fabric garments with the color palate black, white and red make up her Spring collection. While the prints are traditional, the shapes offer a cool-girl appeal. Both must-have summer staples are sure to revitalize your wardrobe this August, and carry on into Fall!
