Ruban Sweaters

According to Wikipedia, a sweater is a wardrobe item designed for the upper half of the torso. Initially, a sweater was understood only as products knitted of woolen yarn, without any fasteners, but with a high neck and long sleeves. Today, the definition of a sweater has expanded somewhat, and a variety of pullovers and collarless jumpers are often included in this category as well.

In this article, we will consider the sweater in this very context. We will talk about sweaters from the Russian Ruban trademark: about the history of the brand, product features and the most popular models. You will also learn how to wear and what to combine with trendy sweaters from Ruban.

The Ruban line of luxury womenswear production was founded in 2010, so the company is still very young, however, despite this, it is successful and successful. The Ruban sisters Alisa and Yulia became its creators.

The Ruban sisters began their careers in the fashion world as stylists, but soon they felt the need to create their own wardrobe items, since ready-made clothes limited their imagination and did not allow them to fully embody all creative ideas. From that moment, work began on the creation of the first collection.

The general public saw her in 2011. All things that were shown on the podium were made by hand and existed in one copy. In the future, in order to acquire a dress or skirt that you liked, you had to place an order and wait while the designers worked on a copy.

The next collection of the brand was released in the same year for the new, spring-summer season. This time the emphasis was on the use of expensive, noble materials - the finest silk, natural leather, soft cashmere, etc.All products were distinguished by a sophisticated, well-thought-out cut.

In parallel with the second collection of clothes, another line was launched in a slightly different style. The things that come under the RUBANStyle brand are less pretentious. These are casual wear with simple silhouettes and bright colors, but made with high quality materials.

Ruban products have been highly praised by fashion editors, stylists, couturiers and other professionals from the fashion industry. By 2015, the Ruban sisters had several prestigious awards, including the "Designer of the Year". Ruban clothes were shown on the most important world catwalks: in Milan, Paris and other capitals of the world fashion.

Sweaters and other things released under the Ruban label are distinguished by incredible quality, democratic and feminine appearance, interesting design solutions, as well as the use of mostly natural, expensive fabrics and materials.

Each piece of the Ruban brand has a bright personality, and sweaters are no exception.

Most of the sweaters from this brand have characteristic features such as:

• loose fit and baggy silhouette, reminiscent of the oversize style;
• asymmetrical shapes;
• long sleeves, dropped shoulders;
• straight neckline;
• shortened length - to the waist, slightly higher or lower.

Next, we want to introduce you to the most successful and interesting models of sweaters invented by Alice and Yulia Ruban.

Fall-winter collection 2016-2017:

• Loose sweater dress in deep scarlet color. Thanks to the deep, rounded neckline, this model can be worn down one shoulder.
• Gray button-down sweater with a deep V-neck. This spacious model with small ornaments is made in the style of the end of the last century, when just such forms were in fashion.
• White elongated sweater with a small neckline without a collar. The model has a trapezoidal silhouette and sleeves that extend downward.
• An oversized gray sweater made from soft ribbed fabric. The slightly elongated model has a loose fit, a neat round neckline and long sleeves.

Autumn-winter collection 2015-2016:

• Oversized gray sweater with long, wide sleeves, V-neck and side slits. The model has wide elastic bands along the bottom edge, on the cuffs and on the neckline.
• Snow white oversized button-down sweater. The elongated model with voluminous sleeves is made in the form of a cardigan, which allows you to wear it as a light coat.

Spring / Summer 2015 collection:

• Oversized gray crew-neck sweater with dropped sleeves. The model is decorated with a contrasting print with large flowers.

Fall-winter collection 2014-2015:

• Beige sweater with a deep boat neckline that barely exposes the shoulders. The model has a wide, cropped silhouette and large sleeves that cover the palms. The sweater is decorated with an embossed aran pattern.

Fall-winter collection 2013-2014:

• A white chunky knit sweater with an intricate pattern of braids and rhombuses. The model has a large round neckline, so the product falls on one shoulder. The wide sleeves have elastic cuffs and are gathered at the wrists in large, soft folds.

Fall-winter collection 2013-2014:

• Light gray sweater with a deep and narrow V-neck. This is one of the first models created by the Ruban designers. It is distinguished from subsequent works by a classic fit, a fitted silhouette and a standard tapered sleeve. It was here that the embossed braid pattern first appeared, which later became the hallmark of designers.

Not so long ago, such a thing as a "Ruban-style sweater" appeared in the fashion world. By this phrase, they usually mean a knitted sweater, endowed with all the basic characteristics of sweaters from a popular domestic brand.

The model of the sweater described above was to the liking of Russian fashionistas, however, the cost of the original sweater from Ruban is quite high, and the quality of the copies leaves much to be desired. Therefore, one after another, master classes on creating such sweaters with their own hands began to appear on the network. Many craftswomen even sell their products to everyone, so if you wish, you can buy a handmade Ruban sweater on the Internet.

If you yourself are an experienced needlewoman, then you can easily knit such a sweater on the needles: it will not be more difficult to work on it than on a regular sweater with braids. To do this, you will need thick yarn, a couple of knitting needles of the right size, and some free evenings.

The choice of yarn for a Ruban sweater must be taken responsibly. It is not worth saving on this, because in the end the product will cost you several times cheaper than a ready-made branded item.

The color of the yarn also matters. As you've probably noticed, real Ruban sweaters come in understated, mostly neutral colors. Designers actively use all shades of gray, as well as white and beige. However, if your task is not to create an exact copy of a Ruban sweater, you can safely experiment with colored yarns. Models in bold, saturated colors often look even more spectacular than monochrome sweaters.

Sweaters in the Ruban style managed to gain immense popularity among our girls. Therefore, the question of the compatibility of such a sweater with other things is very relevant.

We advise everyone else not to rush into buying a sweater from Ruban, as there is a high probability that a baggy thing will visually distort the proportions of the figure.

Signature knit sweaters in a boxy silhouette pair perfectly with skinny jeans, jeggings and other form-fitting trousers. However, women of fashion have learned to wear voluminous sweaters with wide trousers, as well as with classic straight trousers.

The most daring girls wear voluminous, long Ruban sweaters with short shorts, mini skirts or petite dresses. Boots or high-heeled shoes are perfect for such an unusual look.

The combination of a spacious sweater from Ruban with a narrow pencil skirt or chiffon midi-length skirt looks very impressive. Correctly selected accessories - large earrings, necklaces, unusual handbags, etc. will help to make the image even more vivid and memorable.
