In this collection, Sleeper pays tribute to the poppy. In Ukrainian culture, this flower holds many beautiful meanings – it symbolizes the sun, the infinity of existence, lush beauty, freedom, and peace. The detachable poppy-shaped flower pins have been designed in collaboration with Ukrainian designer Anton Belinskiy, and can complement any piece from the collection, adding the feminine energy of calm confidence to the wearer.

“The poppy is a flower that is very close to our culture, it is a symbol of peace and freedom, says brand co-founder, Kate Zubarieva. This collection also takes on a new meaning of a symbolic partnership as, for the very first time, we have collaborated with Anton Belinsky, a talented Ukrainian designer, who is also our dear friend, and who has designed these beautiful hand-crafted poppy pins, especially for Sleeper”, - adds Sleeper co-founder, Asya Varetsa.

The New Flower Power suit in navy and grey is made of lightweight and breathable linen and comes with a jacket and pants. The tailoring capsule is complemented by a 2-piece Lili Marleen skirt suit in bright blue, navy, grey, and pink gingham print. The waistcoat of the suit is adorned with a delicate bow on the back and is followed by a maxi wrap skirt.
