Diana Vapsvė unveils a collection designed for both the office and the party

Diana Vapsvė’s new collection, “Two Sides of Her,” places contrasting ideas of femininity side by side: strict tailoring and softness, menswear-inspired proportions and the freedom to change.

The Lithuanian designer says she finds it increasingly difficult to define how a woman should dress. One day, she wants an oversized men’s jacket and wide trousers. The next, she may choose a short skirt and high heels. For Vapsvė, that freedom to move between styles is modern femininity.

Modern femininity is the freedom to change and not have to fit yourself into one image or aesthetic.

The collection deliberately combines a strict suit with oversized denim, classic shirts with leather, and sporty silhouettes with high heels. Menswear-inspired proportions become a way to express femininity rather than conceal it. Vapsvė says an oversized suit can be as sexy as a short skirt, while a structured silhouette can reveal as much femininity as a fitted garment.

The collection uses solid, structured fabrics, especially suiting materials, and focuses on beige, chocolate brown, sky blue and white. The pieces are designed to work together: skirts with jackets, and shirts with both suits and other garments. Vapsvė says she designs with a real woman’s wardrobe in mind, aiming for three pieces to create more than three different outfits.

The oversized suit can be just as sexy as a short skirt.
