Two Texan ladies on a mission: bringing back pin-up girl style to fashion.
Jenny Howe and Kim Jaques are "Devushka." The word (devushka) comes from the Russian word for "girl," which aptly describes the elegant, sexy style of the dresses put out by Devushka. All of the dresses are inspired by the 1940's style of womenswear in Russia and Eastern Europe, yet they also have a slightly more sinister role model. Russian women during World War II were fashionable by day (in dresses similar to Devushka's recreation), and ferocious bomber pilots by night. They were appropriately dubbed the "Night Witches," by the Germans who feared them, and are also the clothing line's major influence.
Most of the dresses are fairly form-fitting, allowing the wearer to flirtatiously, yet tactfully, show off her curves. Bold gem tones, sleek fabrics, and racy prints make up this apparel line. Ladies will definitely be able to channel the seductive pin-up girls of the '40s in one of Devushka's dresses.
Devushka has revamped the 1940's style for modern women's fashion. Geared towards the trendsetting young adult female, Devushka's clothing is sure to have quite an impact on Austin's fashion industry .
